The hosts are lovely people and work diligently to make you feel at home. they have genuine pride in their neighborhood and their city and it shows. Home was very comfortable although I missed the fact that you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the next. Works best for a close group. all of NOLA is still in rebuilding stage for sure and Bywater is no different. The surrounding neighborhood can give momentary pause to anyone not familiar with the city but this block is well on the rebuilding track. Great, economical place to explore NOLA
