Joseph's place was perfect for my visit to New Orleans with my husband. We have visited New Orleans many times and The Bywater is one of our favorite neighborhoods. The apartment is close to all of the bars and some great spots to grab a bite to eat. With this said it can be a little loud, also being by the train tracks. Joseph provides both a white noise machine and ear plugs, we live in Atlanta and are pretty used to street noise so it didn't bother us, but it's nice that guests have options for canceling noise if needed. We would definitely stay here again.
