Ashley's place is ideal for travelers who do not want to stay in the "revelry" of the French Quarter but still would like to be in very close proximity to it. The Marigny is a unique neighborhood that is fun to explore, and there are some must-do venues in Bywater which is convenient to the area as well. The house is one block off of Frenchman street which is a live music lover's dream. We were also one block off a parade route that weekend, so it was very convenient to make trips back and forth if needed while watching the parade. Ashley provided a binder full of suggestions for out-of-towners that looked pretty spot-on to me. I am very familiar with New Orleans and know a lot of local spots that visitors may not know, so trust the binder! The space was stylish, clean, and we felt very secure. Would definitely stay there again and recommend to others. Oh, and Ashley checked on us every day of our stay to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. Top-notch host!
