This was our first time in New Orleans and this was the perfect spot from which to experience it. Cheryl’s and Donnie’s place is warm, welcoming and beautifully decorated. Sitting out in the garden by the pool - richly planted and enhanced by all sorts of tastefully selected objects - is a special treat. There are four rooms in this lovely suite which opens directly onto the pool-garden from the kitchen. Cheryl and Donnie are totally welcoming and helpful, and the surrounding Marigny neighborhood is fascinating - a few blocks from the French Quarter, and from Frenchman Street where some of the best music in town can be found - but itself a quiet respite from all the noisier goings on. For an extra fee we got rides to and from the airport from Donnie - a major convenience. Everything is great here with a couple of itty-bitty gotchas. Though the kitchen is lovely and well-appointed, hot water in the kitchen sink is quite slow, which was not a problem for us since we didn’t do too much intensive cooking. And the bedroom area is pretty dark since this is a ground floor apartment and it’s someone easy, as a result, to stumble over the little step going up into it. But for us those were very small things to adapt to given the overwhelmingly great time we had here. We would definitely return to stay on our next visit and strongly recommend it.
