Hey airbnbers! kevin's place is amazing. seriously. it's a steal at the price. book it. first. the location: you're close to, but out of, the touristy part of new orleans. we got bikes and it was like 10mins into the french quarter. so convenient on that score. and once you've had enough of bourbon st chaos etc you can leave it! more on location! you are in the middle of an authentic new orleans suburb with heaps of character. bywater: there are hipsters there, but not too many yet. so get there quick. mixed with the hipsters are nice people who live and work in the area. if you like great bars, this is the place for you... we're from australia, which has heaps of great pubs, so we can say with some authority bywater is awesome for bars and nightlife. thing is, kevin has the local knowledge and he gave us lots of great tips for where to head and what to check out, eg, great local jazz and restaurants. further on location: you're close to the mississippi (how good!) ok. the space. its exactly as described. nice, clean, high ceilings, an airy space and quiet. located in a cosy street with a great idiosyncratic food store across the street. overall, this was a fab place to soak up new orleans vibe and would definitely stay there again. thanks kevin!
