We had a great experience staying at Carmen & Steve's Bywater Treasure! The word that comes to mind right away is 'thoughtful' — from the bottled water and plentiful stock of local brand potato chips, to the details in decor like a record player with a selection of great authentic music. My husband and I had a fine time communicating with our hosts and we would definitely recommend this little gem if you want to explore just a little outside of the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter. Excellent food and wine nearby too!!
