This is a charming and artsy Airbnb with lots of character set within a great neighborhood!
Kevin met me with the key immediately when I arrived. He was kind enough to give me a long list of local bars and restaurants. He also took the time to show me around the apartment and explain the recommendations on his list.
The Airbnb has a great location in the cool Bywater neighborhood. It is a short walk to Crescent park along the river and is just a stone’s throw away from a fun bar called Bud Rip’s, a great breakfast spot called Satsuma, and a great pizza place called Pizza Delicious.
I highly recommend checking out Bacchanal wine bar which is also nearby. It has outdoor seating with excellent food and live music (I went on a weekday which I think is the way to go; it apparently gets crazy crowded on weekends). Head to Frenchmen street for fun bars and more live music (good alternative to the more touristy French Quarter..even though it’s lots of fun there too). I also highly recommend venturing to the sculpture garden on a nice day near NOMA. It was very beautiful and a good break from all the crazy fun of New Orleans!
The apartment is older and authentic so don’t go into it expecting all new things. It is as shown though and had everything I needed! The shower within the claw foot tub was always warm with great water pressure.
Kevin’s photography around the apartment sets a great tone. I would definitely stay again!
