The Marigny is a beautiful neighbourhood, only 10-minute walk from Frenchman St and the French Quarter. There are lots of great cafes and restaurants in Marigny/Bywater including The Franklin, Elizabeth's, The Joint, and also Bacchanal Wine for great jazz, food and wine (we went on Sunday afternoon, it was fantastic). The Marigny is a safe, walkable neighbourhood and if you want to Uber, it is usually not more than $5-$10 to get into the Quarter or surrounding suburbs. Airport is a $35 Uber.
The apartment is spacious, clean and well-equipped. It is a quiet residential area and we enjoyed the privacy. Kirk was quick to answer any questions we had and we felt looked after. Would definitely recommend a stay in the Marigny if you are heading to New Orleans!
