The home was as advertised -- great design, well-appointed, modern finishings. The home is beautiful with very high ceilings and good amenities, including a washing machine (helpful if you are there with kids!). The pool, while small, was great for young kids as it's deep enough to tread water but also felt safe. The Bywater location is ideal -- close enough to some of the French Quarter and downtown amenities (5 minute drive) for convenience but far away enough to avoid the noise and crowds. The location is incredibly tranquil. Parking wasn't an issue during our stay. One ding is the WiFi, which was not consistent throughout the house. Do try to get a PoBoy at Frady's -- it's close by in the neighborhood and was a culinary highlight of our trip.
