My girlfriend and I visited New Orleans for the first time and stayed at Robert's place. It was perfect for what we were looking for! We wanted to be in a less touristy area, so we decided Marginy would be the place to go. We definitely made the right decision by staying at Robert's place.
Communicating with Robert and Thom was seamless. We met with Thom when we arrived, who checked us in and gave us a quick tour of the property. Everything was nice and clean when we settled into the apartment. They gave us everything that we needed. They even provided us with prosecco and beer in the fridge! On a separate day, we were surprised with warm croissants out in the courtyard in the morning.
The pool proved to be a great amenity when we needed to relax and cool off from the New Orleans humidity. The area around Robert's place is very quiet, so it was nice to take a break at the pool from the hustle and bustle of the French Quarters.
I'd definitely recommend staying at Robert's place if you want to see New Orleans! If you're looking for a less touristy area, but don't want to be too far from the action, then Marigny is perfect. It's a short walk to the party in the French Quarters, yet far enough away to get some peace and quiet.
