We found the Bywater Treasure to be excellent in every way. It was comfortable and well appointed. It was ideally located in an interesting neighbourhood including welcoming bars within spitting distance. We felt safe and welcomed. The Bywater has an interesting history as is evidenced in the houses/homes and public buildings. There was good if infrequent public transport connection from a stop nearby the Treasure and the French Quarter and also centre of NOL. In terms of music we gravitated to Frenchman St which was within walking distance. The music offered here was much more to our tastes than Bourbon St which proved one big tourist trap. I am sure that there are more good music areas in NOL but Bywater and Frenchmen St meet our needs.

Carmen our host was very welcoming and helpful. We felt that we were quite at home in the Treasure and Bywater.
