We found Georgia's beautiful home in the Marigny to be the perfect place for a few days stay in New Orleans. Georgia went above and beyond orienting us to the neighbourhood and the French Quarter, and gave some excellent local recommendations for meals and bars. The house itself is beautifully appointed and was clean and tidy on our arrival, and stocked with basic toiletries and groceries that were much appreciated. The house was quiet, even over the weekend.
Most places nearby you'll want to go are between 10-25 minutes walk, and it is an easy and very pleasant walk. Otherwise cabs are cheap to get home at night if you're out and about in the Quarter. If you want to be right in amongst the action of Bourbon St and want a very short stumble home, you may be better off in the Quarter, but we really enjoyed this more 'local living' option, especially as there are some really great cafes and bars in the Marigny and Bywater.
Would definitely recommend taking up Georgia's suggestion of her local United cab driver to avoid some of the other drivers that aren't as familiar with the area (ours got very lost!).
Overall we highly recommend Georgia's place!
