Marigny Retreat | Steps to Trolley, French Quarter

(Trip to take my daughter to college - Tulane)This property (4-night rental) is on a street where majority of the property was run down in such a way they looked abandoned. First impression unsafe and I did not get out of my car to even check in. There was trash in front of the property and people were sitting around which to me did not show walkable and safe neighborhood. I do not know what others expect when renting a rental as their reviews were positive. This property is not convenient to the areas that are mentioned because parking or walking to the trolley is very unsafe. The experience would have been more terrifying if I was not driving which allowed me to not have to get out of the vehicle and find another ride and another place to stay for 4 people. This property should be removed from all rental sites. NOTE to future renters - look at the street and surrounding street via maps. This rental did not show the buildings on the sides or the street which all looked run down and abandoned. To me this is a classic bait and the pics show random areas that I did not see even when going to the rental. The price for the rental was not lower compared to rentals actually walkable to areas of interest. RENTERS BEWARE!!

Lots of great things about this place: comfy beds; enough kitchen equipment (New Orleans is one of the few places I'm not gonna cook, so it doesn't have to be great, just adequate); nice little deck; fresh loquats off the neighbor's tree, looks like there's a fig tree as well but I can't confirm in March; half a block to the Rampart streetcar; short walk to Frenchmen Street; great parking; colorful, friendly neighbors; good communication with the host. Living room couches could be more comfortable, but they worked, everything else was A. Highly recommend

The property was as described, very clean and modern. It had everything we needed. It's close to the #46 line, which is an easy and quick trip to Canal street. The only downside was the neighborhood is not great, even though we never felt unsafe there. We also spent most of our time in the kitchen since the couches in the living/sitting room were not comfortable to sit around in. For the price, and it's nearness to the French Quarter, I would stay here again.

We needed a break. Where better to get away than the Big Easy. We picked this house based on its proximity to Frenchmen St and the clubs and restaurants to be found there. It was perfect. We walked to many of the spots and those that were a tad too far were an easy Uber ride away. The house itself was spacious, bright and inviting with plenty of communal space, but also privacy if desired. Nicely appointed and spotlessly clean we couldn't have asked for a better place. Dan, the host, was responsive and helped us get through some booking issues (on our end) with grace and patience. When we go back we'll be sure to book this place again.
