Betsey’s cottage was perfect for our trip! It’s full of character, very clean, and well cared for. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance, and the French Quarter is just a few minutes drive / Uber / Lyft, etc. This is the first time we’ve stayed in the Bywater neighborhood and found it safe, beautiful, and anything we needed was close by.
The bed was very comfy, and there were plenty of spots to chill, watch TV, and get some work done. The kitchenette was stocked with all the needed appliances and the snacks and extras were a nice touch. We aren’t Keurig fans, but the Kirkland coffee pods provided were good and there’s an amazing coffee shop a couple of houses down. At times the wifi was a little slow but not a deal breaker.
If you are a light sleeper I suggest ear plugs, just because this cottage is part of a larger home and little footsteps can be heard in the morning :-). But don’t let that deter you - as far as noise levels go, this is a very quiet neighborhood and you won’t find much quieter in NOLA. It’s worth the charm and seeing the Bywater neighborhood, and IMHO it’s always better to AirBnb with people living their real lives instead of with property companies who just rent out their empty spaces.
You won’t regret staying here!
