Without a doubt staying at Steve and Carmen's place was perfect. Our group could not speak better of our stay and would stay there for future trips to NOLA. Steve and Carmen were so helpful and generous. They answered any touristy questions we had, gave us a ride in their car, and even stocked the kitchen with plenty of snacks for our group (at no extra charge!).
Bywater is an awesome neighborhood with so much to offer within walking distance (food, art, bars, a pool etc.) The house slept 6 comfortably and Carmen did an awesome job decorating the place with local art. Even the shower was great. Steve and Carmen were so genuine and made our group feel right at home.
Considering the price, the house, the neighborhood, and the owners I am sure even Mr. T would "pity the fool" who doesn't stay here.
