I am biased because I adore New Orleans, but I really enjoyed my stay! I kind of fell in love with the Bywater, which was a new area to me. If you don't need or want to be in the hustle and bustle of everything that is the French Quarter and stay in a "real" — by which I mean non-touristy — neighborhood, this is a great option. Bywater is a short drive or bike or Lyft to the Quarter or Frenchman Street. If you're feeling spunky you can walk to the Quarter, which my friend and I did one afternoon and it was an incredible tour of residential architecture through Bywater and Marigny. We took tons of pictures and talked to people — NOLA folks are the friendliest!
My friend and I took Susanne's suggestion and checked out the nearby Bacchanal when we first got into town — it's a cute, funky wine and cocktail place with food and live music. We also recommend the Bywater Bakery for a quick, delicious breakfast and the neighborhood bar that is catty corner from the house, which has a friendly cat named Tofu that lives there!
The place has one full bed and a single — might want to work out who gets what beforehand if traveling with a friend. Some nice welcoming touches were included by the hosts, like a bottle of wine, bottled water, granola bars and coffee to brew in the morning (essential for me). The overall aesthetic is cute, funky and eclectic New Orleans, accentuated by David's shots of the city and shoes from the famous Muses krewe. Next time I want to use the bikes; my friend was a little nervous about it. The hosts were responsive and helpful. I would stay here again — heck, I'd move here, haha.
