We love staying in the Bywater when we come to NOLA and Bettina's place was a cozy and private spot that felt very much "local" if you are looking for a non-touristy experience. She and her husband were pretty good about getting back to us, especially when we had a water heater issue that was fixed quickly. The only thing worth noting is that the trains are not too far off, so you do hear them during the day and night. Overall a nice stay!
