Excellent place to stay! hot tub was so helpful after a long day in the French Quarter! Ron and Mark were great hosts and the house was both beautiful and historical and easy walking distance to Bourbon! The bed was the best part of the house! Worth the stay, you will love it!

Lived up to expectations because everything is as described. We walked everywhere because it was only a few blocks. The bed was most comfortable and it was great to have so much space to stretch out in. Enjoyed every moment of our stay.

This Creole cottage could not be sweeter or more comfortable. The owners have thought of every detail to make this, my first visit to New Orleams, sublime. The decor, the comfort, the location: such easy walking distance to virtually everything I've wanted to do...then to share it all with a dear friend these last two days. Many thanks to Ron & Mark for all of their hospitality!

The home is beautiful and spotless; great location in proximity to French Quarter and Frenchman Street. Yet --- no sloppy revelers staggering around. Ron and Mark are friendly, knowledgeable, and available, but definitely not nosy or intrusive. The home and lovely hot tub/garden patio are very private. Truly a lovely and perfect place to call home (sadly, only temporarily) in NO. As the owners live next door, I understand why they only allow adults... but it's too bad I can't bring my son and stay here next time. Looks like I'll be making two trips!

FANTASTIC HOME IN A SAFE AND QUIET AREA OF NEW ORLEANS

Have just spent an entire month at Ron and Mark's wonderful house and don't want to leave it. Ron and Mark are on hand if you need anything or require information, nothing is too much trouble, we're so sad to be going home. The house is beautifully furnished and the bed so comfortable. Very convenient to get to French Quarter, and only a few minutes from Frenchman Street, yet a very safe and quiet area. Have had such a great time here and can thoroughly recommend it.

Absolutely beautiful Rental

Everything that our hosts had to offer and provided was and is in the best of taste and traditional Naw'lin's style. From the high 4 poster bed complete with stepping stools, to the charming courtyard with hottub surrounded by the flora and fauna. The baby morning dove was a special treat in his nest above. The cottage is situated in a terrific part of the French Quarter and a straight shot to the infamous Bourbon Street. However, for the off the beaten path exploration, Frenchman's Street is just around the corner. From sitting outside and talking to the neighbors, or walking down to the corner market, the stay at Ron and Mark's is truly placing yourself in the heart of the New Orleans culture, which is the truest way of knowing a people and it's culture. Fantastic time we both had. We would highly, highly recommend this cottage to anyone, as the owners are the best-est of hosts. We will be back!!!

All I can say is WOW. We had an extremely relaxing and fun stay in this Marigny hideaway. Everything is as advertised, and I was extremely impressed with how much of a home it became during our weeklong trip. It's perfect for a romantic getaway; the private hot tub, fluffy towels and bathrobes, and other little touches really make this place a home away from home. And its location couldn't be better; the French Quarter and all it has to offer were just a few blocks away when we wanted it, and we had a peaceful, quiet and comfortable retreat when we wanted to relax. Ron and Mark are excellent hosts and provided us advice on anything we needed to know, especially restaurants; we visited five of the ones they recommended and we were never disappointed. They were very close by when we needed them (their home is attached), but we had total privacy for our entire visit. We're NOLA veterans, and having stayed in Canal St. hotels in the past, I felt like I got so much more for my money staying with Ron and Mark; having a kitchen, laundry facilities, and an enormous, comfortable king-sized bed helped make this place a much better choice than any hotel here. For attractions near here, I'd definitely recommend Snug Harbor--their restaurant was great, and when we attended one of their live jazz shows which play nightly, who walks in to play with the band but sax master Branford Marsalis, which was an unexpected treat. We also would recommend Cafe Beignet on Royal in the Quarter for your daily dose of those heavenly fried donuts. I would recommend Ron and Mark's place to couples who want to have a vacation without the kids, and I'll recommend it to family, friends, and anyone else who will listen, but my only concern is that this amazing secret will get out and it won't be available when WE want to come back. But we will absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks Ron and Mark for allowing us to share your amazing, comfortable home.

I was very happy spending just under a week here. Ron and Mark were very kind hosts, and the location of the place is excellent. I was able to just park my car on the street and walk everywhere or easily catch the streetcar. I had no problems returning to the property at night even though I was alone. The unit itself is a great size, and the bed was very comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone that is visiting New Orleans

Renting a home sight unseen is certainly a leap of faith .. one must depend on the narrative offered by the owner, the photographs and reviews from past renters. This absolutely perfect home is just as it is shown ... and so much more. Do not hesitate a single minute more if you are yearning to visit New Orleans. This is the home away from home you dream about. From the beautifully decorated home to the special touches throughout, it is special in every way. The flow of the home was great .. it just felt right from the moment we walked through the door. Our special delights: the four poster bed .. so comfortable ... the lovely, secluded back yard filled with plants and birds ... coffee and tea .. shampoo and soap ... the ideal location, which really is just blocks from the French Quarter ... the computer and printer .. the feel of the neighborhood ... Milo, the resident kitty ... Cliff, the neighbor who is also a cabbie, so available and full of knowledge ... you truly need only to 'show up' ... it is all here for you! And Ron and Mark ... completely interested in making our stay a memorable one ... providing information and insights for our visit .. when our flight from California was delayed and rerouted again and again, we called Ron to update him ... instead of getting to New Orleans at 2:20 PM, we finally arrived at 1:00 AM ... and there he was, waiting to greet us and show us our home for the week. He said, "This is what I do" ... at 1:00 AM!!! Impressive!!! A perfect week in a perfect town ... but most of all, the MOST perfect place. We will be back!!!

Stayed here in April 2011. Could not have been nicer. Everything you need in a very quiet, excellent location. Mark and Ron are the best when it comes to local knowledge and hospitality! Will be the only place we will consider when we return to New Orleans!
