We loved our month at Meg's place. Garrett was our main contact - he was always available to help us with local advice and anything else we needed. He has tremendous knowledge about local music, culture, restaurants. etc.
The unit is very comfortable and functional. It was everything we needed. We loved the decor, which includes a lot of posters representing New Orleans music history.
The Bywater is a relatively quiet neighborhood, and this location is a couple miles from the hubbub of the French Quarter. But there are some great places to go right in the neighborhood. We especially enjoyed the Bywater Bakery, the Joint (ribs!) and the Country Club (restaurant, bar and swimming pool), all nearby. There are three bars a short walk away, none close enough to hear at the unit. There are a lot of new and creative businesses to explore on St. Claude Avenue nearby.
We enjoyed walking to the Quarter on the trail along the river, and we also used an amazingly affordable bike share system ($15/month) to get around on most days.
We aren't often able to take a month off to go somewhere, but we would definitely want to return to Meg's place when the opportunity arises.
