We had the most amazing time NOLA thanks to our host Mary (Mickey) and her son Ryan. They were so helpful, welcoming and thoughtful! Ryan greeted us upon our arrival and toured us through our home away from home. Mary provided us with a list of wonderful local restaurants, modes of transportation, and must see places while in NOLA. Our accommodations were excellent, the "Magical Apt" was stocked with everything imaginable, breakfast foods, fruit, juices, coffee, bottled water, cheese and crackers, yogurt's snack items etc.! It was so relaxing to have breakfast provided so we could leisurely plan our day while sipping morning coffee. The home was beautifully decorated in a traditional New Orleans style, it had gorgeous high ceilings and was clean and very comfortable. Off the kitchen there was a private outdoor patio with seating, it was filled with lush green plants and it felt like a secret garden. There were tons of fluffy towels, toiletries and a blow dryer for our convenience. The kitchen had ample plates, silverware and cooking utensils just in case you want to try some Creole Cooking of your own. :-) There was on street parking, Wi-Fi, cable, and a CD player, we had all the comforts of home. Since Mary was out of town during our visit Ryan handled any questions that occurred. He always responded immediately to our call or text in a very friendly, polite and welcoming manner.
The area of Marigny in which the bnb is located there are a lot a beautiful Creole Cottages, most have been restored and some are in transition. There are a couple of quaint corner bistro's and a fantastic Co-op / Healing Center across the street. We were able to walk to Frenchman Street, and the French Quarter although it is good hike. Having a vehicle made it possible to easily get to other NOLA attractions such as the Garden District, Uptown, City Park etc.
We truly enjoyed our visit to NOLA and hope to return soon. Our "Magical Apt in Marigny" was just fabulous, and would absolutely recommend it to others. As for our hosts Mary and Ryan, they simply were THE BEST!
