For our taste and preference when staying in NOLA, MARIGNY'S MAGICAL GARDEN (Suite and/or Guest House) has everything; old-world-southern charm (most evident in Susan, your hostess) a private garden for some great reading, working, eating, soaking in the ambience, security, and convenience. The house is only a few blocks away from both FRENCHMAN STREET and ESPLANADE into the Quarter. We walked everywhere from there, it was an easy stroll...and yet, when returning, we found our temporary home quiet and distant from the noise. Everything and more is available within the living spaces for a very very comfortable stay. A great grocery market is close by to stock your kitchen with whatever necessities you may want when not dining out. The rooms are cozy, comfortable, colorful and homey. It is all-in-all an experience to make you forego any thought of staying in a Hotel, no matter how nice. Nothing beats MARIGNY'S MAGICAL GARDEN for getting you into and keeping you comfortably in the new Orleans spirit of southern charm.
