oh my, the clouet cottage is dreamy! my husband and i ended a longer trip with two lovely nights in this airy spot, and highly recommend it to anyone.
the space itself is welcoming and beautifully decorated, the bed is SO comfortable, and the bathroom has a great clawfoot tub/shower situation going on. betsey was super-easy to get in touch with about our visit, and was kind enough to let us stow our bags after checkout. and while we didn't use the bikes, it was nice to have that option.
as for the neighborhood, it really cannot be beat. close to the quarter if that's your thing, but the bywater/marigny is really the best for a more chill time.
all in all, A+, 5 stars. thanks for everything!
