We absolutely LOVED staying at Carmen's adorable home! Carmen made us feel welcome by communicating with us before we arrived. She even sent me a text warning me of bad weather moving into the area! The location was also fantastic! We love good food and strong drinks and there are countless within walking distance (or a quick Uber/Lyft/cab ride) for a fun night out. Having spent time staying on Bourbon St. and at Carmen's home in the Bywater area, I can guarantee the next time we visit New Orleans, we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else!
