We had never been to NOLA before. Marigny is a great location, quiet streets, but not too far from the action.
The house has 2 good size bedrooms, both with big size and comfortable beds. Each bedroom has an en-suite with nice big showers. Downstairs a good size living room and a kitchen with all the required amenities (dishwasher, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer with ice maker etc).
Bedroom 2 is up a spiral staircase. It’s a little tight, so make sure your comfortable with this. There’s TVs in all the rooms with plenty of channels and WiFi too.
There’s a washing machine and clothes dryer in the utility cupboard downstairs.
Out the back, a nice backyard with outdoor seating area and a pool to cool off in.
There’s a bakery across the street. It’s open every morning except Tuesday. They do great breakfasts and I highly recommend the breakfast tacos & cinnamon buns!
In the surrounding area there are a few bars and restaurants. Who dat cafe on Burgundy & Mandeville has great coffee. Paladar 511 around the corner is excellent, with great food & service. The friendly bar about 100m down the road is a good spot if you want a quiet drink away from all the busy spots. There are plenty of other places, but having enough time to visit them all is always a problem....
There’s also a small supermarket about 2 blocks away called Mardi Gras zone, it has everything you’ll need.
Frenchman street is only about 5min walk. It has some great spots for live music starting at around 14:00-15:00. Bourbon street is about a 15min walk. French markets is just around the corner from Frenchman st, so around 10min walk from the house.
