We checked in to the Bywater Plantation House in October 2017. Reservations and check in process was hassle free. Once we got settled, we were able to walk to a few restaurants and clubs. The place is very safe. You will be thankful for the large private yard. At night we sat around the fire pit surrounded by a large outdoor sofa. You are literally situated just east of the French Quarter which is a quick Uber ride to the French Market. I would recommend this resort for families and people who want a peaceful, laid back vacation. Lots of privacy.
