We had a wonderful time in the Big Easy and staying at Lemon Tree Manor was a huge part of our experience.

It's a beautifully-restored home in the heart of the Bywater, a very hip and fun neighborhood only a 20-minute walk or 5-minute cab ride to the French Quarter. And the walk is through a historic neighborhood itself full of interesting places to see and visit. There are buses that run along both Royal street and St. Claude if you like to get around on a budget. There are also some bike rental places nearby as well if you like to pedal about town.

Susan treated us like family! I recommend a stay at Lemon Tree Manor if you're looking to visit New Orleans. It's close enough to the night life, music and culture of the French Quarter, but also quiet enough to get a good night's rest. The yard/garden area is an especially nice spot to enjoy a drink in the evening, or sit on the classic New Orleans front porch.

The Bywater neighborhood and neighboring Marigny neighborhood are both full of unique Nawlins shops, restaurants and bars. The people here almost always greet you on the street, it's such a welcoming environment to spend a vacation get-away.

Thank you Susan, David and Dink for your hospitality, we'll be back next time we're in town!
