Great space in a wonderful neighborhood.

The space:

This is a roomy tastefully furnished upstairs apartment with a private entrance. A kitchen, dining room, living room, bedroom with en-suite full bathroom and a second bathroom - nobody is going to feel cramped here. Lots of natural light as all rooms are windowed with the exception of one bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with wares and as other reviewers have noted Roger and Rico are very generous with the bathroom linens. Details, details, they matter!

The neighborhood:

It's the Bywater! It's the easy of Big Easy. It's funky and laid back with a perfect dose of gritty. Get to know the hood and you'll discover no shortage of quality restaurants and bars with excellent service. It's a neighborhood where you will more likely exchange a hello with someone you pass.
Yeah, it's New Orleans your visiting. So check out the Quarter, the CBD, the Garden District and Frenchmen Street, it's all part of what New Orleans is. The Bywater makes the perfect home base. Roger and Rico provide an excellent guide to the neighborhood. A couple restaurants I'd like to add are Muarepas Market and Oxalis - excellent meals at both. Also, if your lucky, you can catch an occasional performance at the Tigermen's Den with a local audience.

The Hosts:

All of my correspondence was with Rico. Through the booking and arrival process his replies were prompt and positive. He was able to accommodate me dropping off my luggage earlier than the 2:00 check in time, saving me hours of boring idle time at the airport. Roger and Rico lived on the first floor below and there was never a disturbance resonating up. There were no issues whatsoever with the apartment - so no further communications until checkout arrangements. All in all, highly recommended to those who have read this far!
