WOW!!! We had the BEST time with Susan and her husband David. They live in the other side of the shotgun house in the sweet, quiet neighborhood of Bywater. My mom and I feel we landed the A+ accommodations in all of New Orleans! Susan and David were so welcoming at the beginning, and we just continued to enjoy their guest home and company for the rest of the trip.

They have everything you need in the house- slippers, linens, towels, hair dryer, writing desk, tv, couch- and Susan made up the futon mattress into a really comfortable bed for me. My mom and I had two separate rooms at night because of the sturdy pocket doors, which was nice. There is a fully equipped with cooking supplies, but you'll want to go out every night because of the great food in the neighborhood! Bacchanal had a great selection of wine with delicious food, only a ten minute walk away. Elizabeth's and Satsuma are great picks for breakfast and then you can hop on the bus into the French Quarter. The house is really close to the Frenchman Street music scene, only a five minute cab or bus ride, then when you're ready to go back to quite, just hail one of the many cabs home.

I cannot speak highly enough of how hospitable our hosts were: "hostess with the mostess" certainly applies here. Please enjoy yourselves at this place, just don't book it when we want to come back!!
