My husband and I stayed at Betsey's place for three nights. It's in such a great part of town. We're in our mid-30's and so staying in the Bywater was much better suited to us than the more touristy area where all the main hotels are. There are so many awesome cafes and bars dotted around the neighbourhood and the houses are so vibrant. There are the dodgy parts of New Orleans but we felt very safe at Betsey's. Would totally go back in a heartbeat!
