Rico sent instructions on how to get into our little home away from home a couple of days before we arrived. Getting in was easy and everything was perfect when we arrived. The bed was made and everything was freshly clean, including the linens and towels. They even left a couple of water bottles for us in the fridge. That was a nice touch that we weren't expecting.
Our hosts put together a binder with things to know about the area. The Bywater neighborhood is vibrant and has many interesting local eateries. Walking to the French Quarter takes about 15-20 minutes.
If you want to experience New Orleans like a local, this is a great spot to do it. Highly recommended.
