We had a fantastic 4-day stay at the Lemon Tree. Susan is a warm and welcoming host. The house is even better than the pictures and is the perfect retreat if you wish to experience living like a local. The Bywater is fun neighborhood, close to everything with restaurants and bars for every taste . If you truly wish to get to know this great city do not stay in hotel downtown, rather book the Manor, socialize with Susan and her husband and enjoy all that New Orleans has to offer.
