We loved staying in Jeff and Melissa's gorgeous shotgun house in Bywater. The area feels like the real New Orleans! Not too touristy but a lot of great old houses that are being done up and there were great restaurants really close by. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. An oasis after long walks in the city. We loved our time in NOLA and Melissa and Jeff were very responsive and friendly hosts. We would definitely stay here again.
