I've used Airbnb for years and this space is by far my favorite. It was gigantic and sparkling clean. There was a huge kitchen, dining space, living room, spacious bathrooms, tons of sleeping spaces. It was simply perfect for us and just lovely. We had a parking space in the front although we relied upon Uber for all of our transportation needs. No problem getting picked up and dropped off at the house. Additionally, it's easy to walk to some locals places for coffee, breakfast, etc. I traveled with a group of women who were not used to urban areas and they were uncomfortable in the neighborhood as there are definitely a lot of houses in transition/abandoned houses, empty but soon to be refurbished houses, and some elements of urban life that made them nervous. Some of the Uber drivers told us we were in a "sketchy" neighborhood, but I must say, I'm used to the feel of an urban area so none of these things bothered me. While inside of the home, you forget about any unease you had driving down the block, you simply forget about any of that stuff because you are encased in convenience, ease and charm. And frankly, the value of this space is outstanding. You aren't going to necessarily walk here at night and "feel" safe, but statistically, it's safer than the French Quarter during Mardi Gras! My advice if you're on the fence about this place, BOOK IT. It's phenomenal. It's quiet, spacious, and simply lovely. The Bywater neighborhood is artsy and edgy and fantastic. If you've been to Chicago I would describe the area as late 1990's Bucktown or today's Logan Square. We had some of our best meals and memories in the Bywater. Alissa and Mike's place includes a list of local recommendations for food, bars, tourist excursions and everything you could imagine. They are incredible hosts who have built a fantastic home to share with the world. I can hardly wait to return to NOLA an stay here again. As they say, there are a lot of places I like. But I like New Orleans better. Same with this space! There are a lot of Airbnb places we love, but we like Alissa and Mike's place better.
