What a nice stay we had with Susan and David at their double shotgun home in Bywater. They have done a beautiful job keeping the original character of the home. Their ongoing renovation is so creative and detailed. The bedroom was so inviting and the bed comfortable. The white noise from the air conditioner and the position in the house keep the room quiet for sleeping. It's louder in the front room when one of us slept on the futon. Street, train and boat sounds can be heard there, so bring some earplugs if you are sensitive. We walked many places but also drove too. The only thing missing is a private place to sit outside and read in the lovely New Orleans weather. We sat on the front stoop, which was great, but it's more of a place for conversation. If you want a place to lounge in the sun and read, find a cafe or one of the many parks in the city. Susan's baking is divine! We had a great visit to NOLA!
