Amazing Historic Loft In Nola’s Hip Marigny! Four of us, two couples, decided to head to Nola for a few days. Each one of us visited the city in our "previous lives" and decided it was time to return. We hadn't spent much time in the Marigny neighborhood and decided it would be a great area to explore. The neighborhood is only about a five-minute drive to the French Quarter and a short drive to some of our favorite places Uptown (Tipitina's and Maple Leaf Bar), so we saw an opportunity to have the best of both worlds. The Maison Folie a Deux had us from the moment we stepped out of the car. It's part of a beautiful historical building and the neighborhood surroundings are absolutely charming. The combination of high ceilings, brick, wood and natural light provide a great atmosphere. The place is spacious, yet cozy. It is beautifully decorated and the owners have provided everything you could possibly need. The place is exceptionally clean and comfortable. The AC and high ceiling fans kept us comfortable in the heat. We loved starting and ending our days sitting outside on the wrap around balcony and watching the neighborhood life and taking in the neighborhood charm. The kitchen was too good to not use so I wound up stocking it as I would if I were home with great goods from a local market. The flow of the loft provided an easy way for us to all be together and offered privacy when needed. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom. The beds were extremely comfortable. As I reflect on our stay, I realize we spent more time in this neighborhood than planned. To me, this is a sign of a great vacation. The shops, galleries, local bars and outdoor sites provided everything we needed. The local restaurants were spectacular (my favorite breakfast spot was Satsuma; dinner favorite was The Franklin). Each time we returned from our day, we felt like we were returning home. I learned there is also a place to rent downstairs and the ideas for gatherings were flowing. It's truly a perfect place for getaway weekends with family and friends. Lastly, I wanted to note that we knew we were in good hands before we even arrived. The building manager, Barrett, was incredibly helpful in planning our visit. We had some questions about the neighborhood and apartment layout, and she provided incredible insight. She was easy to work with, followed up immediately to all of our emails/calls. We serendipitously ran into her one morning on our way out and she offered some suggestions that added to our day. She also made sure we knew she was available if we needed anything. Thank you, Chad and Barrett, for providing us with an exceptional weekend! The place truly exceeded all expectations. We are literally in conversations with some other friends and will be booking again in the future. This place is an absolute gem and one that...
