My partner and I have been to New Orleans many, many times, so when looking for a place to stay on our trip to New Orleans, we wanted somewhere that was ideally located and felt authentically New Orleans, but wasn't right on the typical tourist trail. Our goal was to get a taste of what it *feels* like to live in New Orleans...and we got it! Her lovely and quaint guesthouse tucked right in the heart of Bywater allowed us to easily get to the Quarter or Frenchmen's Street to see music or check out local places of interest, but often we spent time just enjoying a stroll through the neighborhood to the legendary Vaughan's or Bacchanal, taking in local culture over homemade handpies at Bywater Bakery, or wandering around the little shops dotted along St. Claude. Plus you're a stones throw from the Mississippi and Crescent park if you want to go from a nice walk or jog! Stephanie was great, making it SO easy for us to check-in, left lovely local touches in the house to welcome us and responded immediately for anything we had questions about. All in all, it was an amazing stay and we WILL be back. If you get a chance to stay here, do it!
