Allison was really terrific with communication throughout this rental process. Her home is super cute and clean and plenty of room to lounge out in the living room and on the patios. It was quiet at night which is really important, and anything you'd find in a regular house were provided in this accommodation (full kitchen, etc). The neighbours were really nice too. The Bywater is an "up and coming" neighbourhood and perfectly safe during the day, so we walked around this area quite a bit. There were some excellent off the beaten track type restaurants right in the area which which we really liked and actually felt those restaurants were much better and more unique than going into Frenchman Street, etc to eat. A walk into the French Quarter takes about 35 minutes at a steady pace and that is fine during the day if you are someone who likes to checkout the town by foot, like me. If you're not a "walker", then you should probably find accommodation closer to the French Quarter. Walking back to the Bywater from the French Quarter in the dark, especially alone, is not a safe idea. But cab fare is only around $10. We would stay here again.
