We met with Ryan when we first arrived at the apartment and he gave us a great rundown of the neighborhood, where to eat, where to buy groceries, and a tour of the house. We found the apartment very clean and comfortable with all the amenities from a private garden where my dad could smoke his pipe, to generous breakfast food and snacks, to comfortable beds, and all the towels we could possibly use. The house is in a historic area of New Orleans so just walking around looking at the architecture was fun. It was also close enough to the French Quarter to walk to listen to music and go shopping, while being far away enough to be in a nice quiet, friendly neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again if I was returning to New Orleans, and would highly recommend Mary's and Ryan's place to anybody interested in experiencing that great town. Ryan was also exceptionally helpful when we needed some assistance with rental equipment which we greatly appreciated.
