Great place to stay in the Bywater. Having said that, we're now aware that whole-house rentals in New Orleans could be having a negative effect on the quality of life for residents. Folks who want to live and work in the Bywater are having trouble finding places to rent/buy because so many homes are being converted to whole-house accommodation spaces. Next time we go back to NOLA we'll be looking for a room in a house occupied by the owner. If you're so inclined, ask Chelsea how many days per year she rents her house out to airbnb patrons. A new city ordinance stipulates whole house rentals may only rent for 90 days per year.
