Susan’s place is a great house that they restored a few years ago. Very charming and comfortable. Lots of sunlight, lots of room to sit and relax and a great little patio off the porch with tables and chairs. There were even brownies in the kitchen when we arrived that went very well with coffee and tea.
Susan lives just a couple doors down and was very friendly and responsive, so checking in and out was very easy. Same goes for Dink who lives next door. She can also help you out and she has two very nice, quiet and friendly dogs.
The location is great. There are some great places for food and drinks nearby like The Country Club, Bacchanal, Bywater Bakery, Satsuma Cafe, etc. Crescent Park is just at the end of the street and it’s a great park running along the river from Bywater to the French Quarter. A great place for morning jogs and evening strolls. The weather was really nice when we stayed so we liked walking to the French Quarter; it takes maybe 25-30 mins. If you drive or bike it’s takes about half the time, and it’s easy to call a cab or uber/lyft. The house is in a perfect spot. Close enough to the touristy stuff without being in the thick of it, and in a charming, low key, unique and historic neighborhood that has a lot to offer on its own.
New Orleans is a great city, and Bywater is a cool neighborhood. I would definitely recommended staying at Susan’s place.
