This was the perfect little place in Bywater. We loved the space, the host and the neighborhood and often chose to hang out here instead of the French Quarter. Our host Kevin gave us a list of things to do, see, eat and drink around the neighborhood before we even arrived and kept us updated throughout our stay of current events. He lives right next door which makes it easy to check in and out and ask any questions. However, the shotgun house is private, has everything you need, and is just an interesting place to be in. I kept on walking around checking out all the photography and art on the walls. You can tell it has been furnished and decorated by an artist (Kevin). The French quarter is about a 30 minute walk through some other cool neighborhoods, or 10 minute bike ride, which is what we did. In general that's the best way to get around since New Orleans is so flat and bike friendly. Big Easy Bike Tours is close by and Bob, the owner, rents bikes cheap and brings them to your door. If you want a New Orleans visit a little off the beaten path, meet some locals, and get the real feel for New Orleans living and hospitality, Kevin's spot is the place to be.
