Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to meet Mary as some guests in my party arrived earlier and checked in. I met Ryan, Mary's son, who lives next door. He's super chill and very helpful.

Mary's place in the Marigny was wonderful. Very clean and the added snacks and beverages were a welcome touch. The beds (and air mattress) were comfortable with lots of extra pillows (which other hosts often skimp on).

Location was key and Mary's place is perfect if you are looking to enjoy New Orleans without being in the middle of the French Quarter. (Easy to get to with a 5 minute cab ride). We mainly stayed within walking distance to the awesome St. Roch Market, Frenchmen St. and several other local spots in the Marigny. We walked almost everywhere at all times of the day and night and felt safe. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Mary and Ryan!
