Staying at Susan's place was as much fun as we hoped it would be. We loved the Bywater neighborhood, we loved the house and all of Susan's recommendations. Her choc chip cookies are excellent as well!
Renting a bike is definitely the way to get around NOLA unless you like to get dressed up to go out. We don't. So many gems in the neighborhood, all within walking distance. On a bike, nothing was more than 5-10 pleasant minutes away. Susan and Dave are great hosts, they're available when you need them but you also have all the privacy you want.
Our favorites were: Baachanal, Culinary Bike Tour, the Sno-Cone guy on Piety, Cake Cafe, music at the Three Muses. We had 2.5 days, we needed 5 or more to see what we wanted to see.
We'll stay with Susan whenever we can get back to NOLA.
