Me and my friends had a great time in NOLA and a great time staying at Marcus's place. It was a bit cramped for 4 of us, but it worked (could have used an extra blanket!). It was clean, comfy, and well lit. Great deal for the price. The apartment is a short walk (yes, a block or two of sketch) to Frenchman st. and to karaoke at Kajun's (a must for karaoke lovers). There is a Walgreens right around the corner which was nice. I would have loved some real plates / utensils - it was a bit difficult to cook eggs in the morning. If you're planning to mainly go out in the French Quarter / Marigny it's great. Anywhere else, you'll need to drive since public transport is lacking.
