I really enjoyed staying at Chelsea's place in Bywater. It was impeccably decorated and exactly as described in the photos. The couch and bed were both comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was fantastic. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a loud train line a few blocks away -- so you'll definitely here the noise from it during early morning hours.

It honestly seems more suited for someone planning a longer stay (i.e. over a week) than a quick trip, like the one I planned (3 days). While the neighborhood is totally friendly and safe, I didn't find it as convenient as staying closer to tourist areas would likely be. This isn't a reflection on Chelsea at all, but just something for future visitors to note. You'll spend roughly $5-$10 in Uber each trip getting from Bywater to the Quarter/Bourbon St, which can add up if you shop and end up carrying a lot of bags like I do (lol). Also, because the area doesn't have a ton of grocery options, if you want fruit or other snacks, you'll need to stock up early or go to a 24 hour place in the Quarter. If that's not a concern, then you'll definitely enjoy the house's location and amenities.
