I can’t recommend Olandra’s place more highly. As soon as I walked through door I felt comfortable and at ease. It has all the pleasures and amenities of home (more so than my own actually ) but with the cleanliness and professionalism of a well run hotel. The Bywater location is great, with a less than 10 minute drive to The Quarter. The place comes with a thorough guide of recommendations, restaurants, tours and activities. Olandra and her partner let you do your own thing but if you have any needs or questions they’re extremely quick to respond. I had a personal emergency come up during my visit (unrelated to their place) and they were there to help out anyway they could. I found them to be very kind and empathetic and I’m extremely grateful for all their help. If you’re in NOLA, you can’t go wrong with staying here. I stayed there for 10 days and would gladly do so again on my next visit.
