Cozy is the perfect way to describe Anita's place. It is a great location in Marigny away from the noise of the French Quarter, yet close enough to walk to it. There is a bus and trolley stop just across the street as well as a Walgreens and a Robért Fresh market a block further where you can get deli items to eat in the room or even some microwavable meals They also sell beer, wine and spirits. Don't be put off by some of the worn down structures in the vicinity. We felt perfectly safe and she has cameras outside the home to make one feel even more secure. Everyone is super friendly and we were greeted by passersby constantly. The flat itself is tastefully appointed with modern touches and immaculately clean. I ran fingers across everything from baseboards to picture frames and came away virtually dust free (with the small exception of the blinds). The window air conditioner is surprisingly effective in combating the Louisiana humidity as is the ceiling fan in the elevated ceiling. The bed is super comfortable and linens were fresh. I especially loved her bedspread of which she was kind enough to share the details so that I may purchase one. The room has an ample size fridge with a freezer big enough to hold a large bottle of Amsterdam vodka! There is only a microwave so you won't be cooking in here, but you are in New Orleans and great restaurants and bars are just a step away. If you are one that needs to watch TV or listen to tunes, you'd better bring a laptop and/or radio since there are no such amenities. One assumes that you've come to New Orleans to soak in the music and culture. Get out there! Otherwise, everything else you could possible need is in the flat. Anita was kind enough to hold our bags after checkout so we could do some further exploring and eating before our late flight. We were even able to take the trolley car ($3 for a day pass) to the train station were we caught the 202 bus to the airport saving us the $36-40 cab/Uber ride back. Finally, you can say you have stayed in a historic home in New Orleans being that (I believe) hers is a classic Creole cottage style dwelling. We can't thank Anita enough for her hospitality
