This home is absolutely beautiful. Whether it's your first visit to New Orleans or your 100th, this place won't disappoint. The pictures don't lie - the stunning wood, high ceilings, and - my favorite - a reliable porch, all demonstrate attention spent to detail. Best of all is that the house runs on central A/C and has plenty of powerful fans - a must for New Orleans summers. You're right down the street from some incredible bars, restaurants, music venues, and the legendary Bywater Country Club: a clothing-optional pool and brunch spot.

Susan is such a gracious, kind and motherly host. She lives down the block and is always a phone call away. She'll even give you a fabulous costume to wear for a parade, if need be! She is a classically good-hearted, fun-loving New Orleanian.

I recommend bringing a bike! The Bywater is one of the most bike-friendly neighborhoods in the city. There are plenty of spots to secure it in this lovely home.
