My wife and I had a great stay in Melissa's charming Bywater double. The house has a lot of historic charm, eclectic features, updated bathroom, and fantastic original photography from some of Melissa's trips around the world. The Bywater is a great place to stay: close to the Quarter and Frenchmen Street, but with so many great bars and restaurants, you might find it hard to leave the neighborhood. Melissa was very friendly and responsive to questions before and during our stay. She had some great suggestions for places we might want to check out. She recommended Oxalis, a nearby restaurant, and we had a great dinner in their lovely courtyard. If you're looking to get out of some of the more tourist-trodden areas of New Orleans, check out a funky neighborhood, and want a place with some history and character, Melissa's place is perfect.
