This was our first time in NOLA and I must say this city stole my heart. The Bywater Beauty was the perfect spot for us. A short bike ride (under 10 minutes and yes Jesse has bikes for you to use!) to the French Quarter, and I must say it was nice being in a quiet neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle. I loved exploring the Bywater neighborhood, wandering into different cafe's and shops, and photographing the murals/street art on sides of buildings. It was also convenient being half a block away from the best breakfast spot, Elizabeth's and Crescent Park which features awesome views of the city's skyline and a long stretch of paved walkway. The path shoots you out right near the French Market which is a must see. The neighborhood felt very safe, lots of young families and professionals who were all very friendly and glad to answer questions. The Bywater Beauty itself was stunning. A classic shotgun style New Orleans home with a colorful exterior. The inside featured high ceilings and was much bigger than expected. The rooms were spacious and as a group of 3 adults we felt very comfortable. Jesse was super responsive and helpful in especially coordinating our check in. I truly loved experiencing the city with this as our home base. It was a far cry from the debauchery that is Bourbon street that we all so often think of when we think of NOLA. NOLA is so much more and as a family of musicians we were overwhelmed with the high vibration that this city is on. Stay at the Bywater Beauty!
