Our experience was very positive, and the house met our expectations. Meg and partner Garret made us feel welcome and gave us essential information and tips. The Bywater is an up-and-coming section. Many lovely houses and now the mile-and-half Crescent Park along the river a 10-minute walk from the house. Bus travel is convenient, but on two days, bus breakdowns (on one of the 2 lines close to the house) complicated travel plans. Just a part of urban experience. Twice, we took cabs back from near Jackson Square and the cost was about $12 dollars. Highly recommend the space and the area -- and of course, NOLA.
