We were here for 3 nights in July and loved it. We were lucky in that we were upgraded to the suite and it was beautiful. The guest house is, as has been said, at the "right end" of Bourbon St. so you're walking distance to everything, but quiet and non-seedy. We just walked everywhere or got the trolley out to the Garden District. John is brilliant. He made us feel really welcome and we really enjoyed our chats at breakfast. I'd definitely stay here again when we come back.

As realtors say, LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. La Maison Marigny is nice and would be a great property anywhere, yet the Bourbon Street-at-Esplanade Avenue location is in my opinion IDEAL! You can walk everywhere and Frenchmen Street, NO's best keep secret, is merely 2 blocks away. The area is safe and interesting and not full of tourists either.

Our hosts did a remarkable job of renovating and decorating this charming turn-of-the-century historic house! They succeeded in combining very modern, comfortable accommodations while maintaining a sense of history. We loved the downstairs suite, and the knowledge that we could pop out to the kitchen for snacks at any time! Breakfast was better than expected with homemade raspberry/chocolate chip muffins! John has also created an easy visitor’s map with nearby restaurant recommendations in every price range-- very helpful! Location is key here, and it was perfect for 1st timers…quiet end of Bourbon Street within walking distance of the French Quarter. We hope to return soon! They deserve all the accolades in the reviews!

I am from South Africa and have stayed at La Maison Marigny for a few days already. It's fantastic. Great comfortable room (I am in the downstairs suite, which I highly recommend) and super service from John (owner) and the housekeepers (Joy and Tiago). Every morning the great coffee wakes me the delicious baked goods (scones, muffins, etc) start me off well. Fruit, yogurt, too. Not a lot of variety but a nice offering for a place that advertises a continental breakfast only. Location is superb if you are visiting N.O. to "see the sights." Near Frenchmen Street (a must-see for music fans) and all of the Quarter. New Orleans is cleaner than ever and I am loving it. Come visit!

We stayed here Memorial Day weekend 2008 and loved it. John was a great host, helpful with any info we needed and lots of tips. Plus he makes great muffins and scones! Location is great--quiet and away from all the chaos yet it was only a 10-15 minute walk and you were in the thick of things in the Quarter. Yes, the rooms are small (but we never spend that much time in them anyway) but elegantly done and very comfortable. The "public" areas of the house are also comfortable, inviting, and charming. Great place to stay

We picked the Maison Marigny because of its French Quarter location but ended up spending more time in the "Marigny" neighborhood, particularly Frenchmen Street. Live music and restaurants within a couple of blocks but yet the house is quiet. Very good combination when traveling! We stayed in the "courtyard queen" room. Loved it. Very peaceful and full of amenities like flat screen TV, DVD, extra pillows/blankets, designer bedspreads, etc. My wife actually wants to decorate our bedroom in purple now after seeing Maison Marigny's room. We will return.

We stayed in March 2008 in the courtyard queen room in back. While not large, it is well-appointed and very quiet. That is important to us! I'm tired of loud hotels. The hosts are good "planners" and will help you with all of the details of your trip -- dinner ideas, tour booking, etc. And they have stories galore about Katrina, life in New Orleans and even politics! We really enjoyed the morning chats over hot coffee and fresh-baked blueberry scones! Stay at the B&B and you won't regret your choice. We didn't!

The guys who run this place seem to care about their guests and make sure guests have a good time in New Orleans. We received excellent recommendations and enjoyed the comfortable guest rooms. Our room was somewhat small but well appointed. I would stay again!

Our stay at La Maison Marigny is as much a pleasant memory as anything else we saw or did in New Orleans. The rooms were charming and comfortable, the hosting unobtrusive yet accommodating of all our possible needs,and the local color of the inn was exquisite. Much of our suite was custom-designed (the bedroom and the "parlor"), including a queen-sized daybed in the parlor. Snacks and cold drinks were available to us around the clock. Homemade breakfasts varied from raspberry waffles to peach foldovers to blueberry muffins. "The shower was delicious," said my husband as I said of the mattress and bed. The walls were filled with traces of historical antiquity and beauty of the locale, tasteful and elegant. A small den held both a computer and a printer for guest use, and an enormous library of DVDs, which we said we wouldn't use but enjoyed immensely at the end of long days of sightseeing. John, the host, unassuming yet personable, was a wealth of information and helped us plan every stop and experience, resulting in an unforgettable trip, off the beaten path. Certainly we give La Maison Marigny the highest rating, detail after detail, on every level.

I've stayed at four B&Bs in New Orleans, all of which were highly ranked on this site, Trip Advisor, and others. We loved La Maison Marigny the best. Great hosts, comfortable rooms with flat screen TVs and Neutrogena, VERY GOOD central air conditioning, and more. We will be back.

Love this B&B. Beautiful furnishings, great muffins, wonderful host, John. This place is more of a walk, but great value and ambiance. Safe neighborhood and we'd stay again.

My husband and I went to New Orleans for our 1st year anniversary. This was our first time in a Bed & Breakfast so we didn't have any major expectations. John was awesome and extremely helpful. He made dinner reservations for us on Friday night at K-Paul's which was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. He also recommended several out of the main stream places for us to visit. The house was beautiful and John was an excellant host. We will be going back to New Orleans and we will stay with John when we go.

Stayed at La Maison twice before Katrina and once after. Superb! A nice but not overwhelming house, very comfortable and very friendly. PERFECT location too. Close to everything!

Although many folks think they have to stay in the French Quarter, the Marigny district is my favorite for real NOLA atmosphere and great music. La Maison is on a quiet residential street, close to everything, and John is a wonderful host.
