We loved staying in the Bywater neighborhood. We had stayed in the French Quarter last year, and loved seeing this different part of New Orleans. It's about a 40-minute walk to the French Quarter or 15 minute bike ride. There are some great restaurants and bars within a few minutes walking, which Chris and Jane will point you in the right direction to find!
Although we didn't spend too much time at home, when we did, it was perfect. The bed was especially comfortable.
I definitely recommend staying at Chris and Jane's beautiful home. They are wonderful hosts--Chris even stayed up until 2am to personally greet us and show us the home. That was incredibly kind!
