Bryan's Marigny Dream Gingerbread house has the potential to be a four-star accommodation, however it falls short on details.
The most positive attribute is the dream location, only minutes from beautiful Frenchman Street and the zaniness of Bourbon Street. As well, coffee shops and fun stores abound in this locale.
The bed is comfortable but, overall, the room is mediocre. There are no bedside tables or bedside lighting and the only entrance is through a bathroom. Our closet was shared with the owners, thus minimal space for our clothes. Adjacent to our room was the owner’s laundry room which was separated ONLY by a curtain. As a result, privacy is severely compromised. Another reviewer pointed out the missing transom window above the bathroom door - this is still an issue. And the bathroom door needs oil - desperately.
The patio has the promise of an exceptional zen space, however there are no chairs to enjoy the songbirds, exotic plants and flowing water.
The kitchen is supposed to be shared between renters and owners, but dirty dishes were always left in the sink - not ours.
With some not-too-expensive fixes and upgrades this place could be great.
In closing, Marigny Dream Gingerbread house has a big 'charm' factor and the hosts are pleasant, however at a present cost of $420 Canadian per night the place comes up short of where it should be.

Thank you 'Big Easy' for a wonderful five days.
