The actual road that the house is on isn't the most scenic, but Bywater is cool! It seems to be more recently gentrified, so if you aren't used to neighborhoods like that you might be wary of exploring at night, but that goes for every city! Totally walkable to French Quarter if you like walking (roughly 20 minutes) and nice that it's removed from all the craziness of the touristy part of town (although there were plenty of locals providing a rowdy soundtrack in the evenings -it died off early enough, so no issue with noise when we were bedding up).
Easy entry (key pad lock), plenty of strong hot water in the shower, heat/ac and some toiletries had us totally set! Washer and dryer were a great added amenity!
Would absolutely stay again!
