This beautiful old house in the Bywater neighborhood was perfect for our vacation. It's a 20-25 minute walk from the French Quarter, which is the perfect length for sobering up or having a good conversation, without being too long. Bywater is a wonderful place to stay, very artsy and not nearly as nuts as staying in the Quarter. Try the Satsuma cafe around the corner for breakfast.

The house itself was spacious and clean, with plenty of room for 5 guests. Be aware that there is no microwave - choose your snacks carefully.
