My husband and I stayed at James’ place while in town for an extended weekend. The cottage was cozy and had everything you might need during your stay (including Netflix!). We were so happy we stayed a little outside of downtown and could escape the craziness at the end of the night. The cottage is only a 15 min walk to the French Quarter, but there are many lovely bars, restaurants, and coffee shops nearby in Marigny and Bywater. I loved sipping coffee on the porch in the mornings. The bed was firm and comfy too, we slept great. The nearby train woke us up once during our four night stay, but it wouldn’t deter us from staying again, overall it was a very quiet retreat. Also appreciated having in-unit laundry so we could do a load before traveling home. Would absolutely recommend staying here!
