We visited New Orleans for the Essence Music Festival 2014. My friends and I spent three nights at Meg's Bywater apartment in July. We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations... Our rooms were outstanding in terms of size, and amenities; and Meg/Garrett could not have been kinder and more accommodating. In addition, the location is on a quiet street and the Bywater neighborhood was perfect for exploring New Orleans. A nice local apartment was much more intimate and enjoyable than a conventional mega-hotel. We will be back on our next visit.
