Prepare for a treat, Mary's place is the icing on the cake of a wonderful experience in a fantastic city.
Located on the cusp of historic Treme, it is a great way to enjoy the city and not being in the middle of the hubbub of the French Quarter.
The house is perfectly set up with all the little touches that make traveling
and pleasure (toiletries, nice towels, well stocked kitchen, etc.). Mary has thought of everything and it was an easy, enjoyable stay.
We recommend using Jump bikes or ones of the bike hire companies to explore as there are many bike friendly roads. Also the city is very flat so biking is a breeze. Less than 10 min to French Quarter, 20-30 min cycle to Bywater or Uptown. If you are not into biking then Lyft and Uber are quick and easy (we met so many friendly drivers).
Mary's local suggestions for food and music venues are spot-on and will give you a great experience of local life.
Make sure to visit Backstreet Museum and if you get a chance a tour from Mr. Francis to learn about all the beautiful New Orleans traditions.
If you want to come to NOLA to get drunk and party then stay somewhere else, if you want to soak up the wonderful atmosphere, music and traditions then this is the spot for you.
Thanks Mary! We will be back!
