My boyfriend and I stayed at Mary's for the weekend when extending a business trip to New Orleans. Mary's son Ryan was there to meet us and provided us with information about the apartment and neighborhood. You would never know it from the outside, but this is a very cool place...clean, eclectic, comfortable. It was fantastic and a nice touch to have snacks and other goodies available. The bathroom was also stocked with toiletries if needed. Beds were very cushy and we slept well. We loved having access to Wi-Fi and satellite TV when hanging out. There are several great options for food in the neighborhood and it's easy an easy walk to the French Quarter and streetcar line. We were told by some locals to not walk the streets late at night which wasn't a concern for us since we aren't night owls. During the day, we felt completely safe. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, would recommend to others, and would stay again.
