This was exactly what we were looking for, a quiet, safe neighborhood full of hole in the wall restaurants and bars that had great food and drinks. The guest suite is just that, a suite with a bedroom, bath and kitchen, no living room area. This was just fine for us as we spent all day, everyday out walking the city and exploring. We didn’t find much live music in the Bywater area but the next door neighborhood, the Marginy has tons of great music, better than what we found in the French Quarter. We walked everywhere from this place, and when we tired of walking, Uber rides were always available and a relatively cheap way to get back.
