We stayed at Bettina's Bywater Beauty Guesthouse recently and everything was wonderful. Bettina was very attentive to our needs. We arrived early and she allowed us to store our bags until the space was ready for us. The photos and descriptions are all accurate. The beds were very comfortable and wait till you take a shower. The kitchen area more than met our needs. We were travelling with our 12 year old daughter so we did not need to stay in the French Quarter, but the guesthouse is only a 20 minute walk away. The location was perfect. We were right off a major bus route, St. Claude Street, bus #88, which runs to the French Quarter and on to Canal Street where you are able to connect to the streetcars (buy a Jazz pass). The guesthouse is also a 10 minute walk to a grocery store, Mardi Gras Zone, and many restaurants. Bettina and her guesthouse helped make our New Orleans vacation memorable. If we visit NOLA again, I will not hesitate to contact Bettina.
