Cheryl's Marigny apartment was fantastic. It was roomy, clean, and well maintained (the flowers in the backyard are beautiful); and both hosts were very accommodating and made us feel welcome in their home/city. The apartment is located near enough to the Quarter, but the Marigny neighborhood has a charm of its own. We loved Frenchmen Street (a suggestion of the host) and the Art Market we found there. The bakery nearby on Chartres St. was also a great find.

While I have travelled to New Orleans many times, this was better than most hotel experiences I have every had. And bringing along three friends who were new to the city, this was a great area to show them around a neighborhood we probably would not have experienced otherwise.
