Staying with Colette and Misky in the Marigny has been a wonderful experience on many different levels!
Firstly, it was a 15-20 minute safe and easy walk into the French Quarter, much quicker if you have a bike. The house is also a 2 minute walk to the St Roch markets, where not only the coffee is great but there is a wide variety of food vendors.
Grocery shopping was very easy to do. Mardi Gras Zone is a 10 min walk, and also the Co-op across the street in the Healing Center offers great products and fresh fruit and veg. I felt quite safe in the neighbourhood and at night time you could get an uber within minutes.
The house itself was super cool!! Colette has done a wonderful job making the house cosy and clean.
Front yard was an awesome place to chill, fairy lights come on at night which creates a lovely atmosphere, accompanied with the lovely New Orleans air.
The kitchen is big and I was welcome to use all the pots and pans and make coffee as I pleased which was wonderful. The rest of the house was clean and homey. The bedroom was big, there is a big chest of drawers and a large hanging space for clothes. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds ever!
Clean bathroom, and awesome shower.
And last but not least, Colette! What a wonderful, easygoing hostess and a kind and generous person. Originally, my plan was to stay for 11 weeks, but my plans had to change and I had to seek a more permanent means of accommodation and she was very helpful and flexible with changing my booking. I really appreciated that.
I also appreciated her as a very warm person, with lots of positive energy! Thank you Colette!
Comisky, her sweet sweet boxer was just the cherry on top of this wonderful airbnb experience. Super sweet, affectionate and friendly.
Wonderful experience! Thank you Airbnb and Colette and Misky for a wonderful 6 weeks!!
