Derek's place is wonderful to stay at whether you're traveling for business or pleasure. the Marigny/Bywater neighborhood is within walking distance of the French Quarter but ALSO gives you a glimpse into a must-see New Orleans neighborhood. The space was clean and cool, and the coffee and amenities were all easy to find and in their place. Derek also gives wonderful dining recommendations. I felt very safe walking in this neighborhood. To top it off, there was a new cute restaurant below with Kombucha on tap and even the neighborhood grocery store was a must-visit because of all the neat products they had. HIGHLY recommend this spot!
