Marijane is a wonderful host. She had many suggestions for places to visit and eat. She gave us our privacy yet at the same time was available to answer text and even checked in on us to ensure we were doing well. The apartment was great....clean and spacious. The refrigerator was stocked with drinks and coffee was also made available. A supermarket was close by (we had a car) which allowed us to make a hearty breakfast before heading out to see the sites. This worked perfectly for us especially our pocketbooks :). The noisy/active French Quarter was only a 15 minute drive and coming back to a quiet neighborhood each night was much needed as this assured we received uninterrupted sleep. We parked our car in the driveway and always felt safe to come and go no matter the time. City Park is a short walk. I recommend taking some time to walk the sculpture garden...for us it was a nice break from the city vibe.
I highly recommend staying at Marijane's Garden Studio and would definitely do so if I ever come back to New Orleans.
