We stayed a few days in uptown before coming here, and the Marigny was much more interesting. I love this neighborhood. It is a hidden gem with lots of cool restaurants, bars, and right around the corner from St. Roch Market, which we ended up going to everyday because they had so many different food and drink options. I'd recommend renting a car to get around town. Collette is great, super fast at responding, super laid back and accommodating, gave great recs, and gives you a lot of privacy and space. Her dog is super chill and relaxed.
