Chad's place was everything we could have hoped for our stay in Bywater. The space is truly spectacular all the way round - a great loft living experience. The afternoon light was really spectacular and the subtle lighting at night contributed to the overall NOLA vibe. The wrap around balcony was an added bonus. And the extra large bed was super comfortable. The location is in the heart of the Bywater so you can take advantage of all the nabe offers but not too far down river so you can easily walk to Frenchmen Street, the Quarter, etc. The only caveat, particularly for light sleepers, is the house is relatively near active train tracks so there is an occasional train whistle during the night.
You'll also be in good hands with Chad as your host. He was super timely with responses to my questions during our stay, and patient and flexible with our requests.
