We are not night life people so having a comfortable place to relax in the evening is important. We wanted to be out of the hub-bub of the French Quarter, yet accessible to it. Liz and Colin's place fit the bill perfectly. It is a little more compact than appears in the pictures because they've added some furniture. The furniture though made for better functionality. It was very clean with all the amenities you need for your stay. We were greeted with a bottle of wine, coffee, tea, cooking basics and a well stocked kitchen. The 2 ceiling fans and window air conditioner kept the place quite comfortable. My only regret is that we didn't have enough time to explore the Bywater, which appeared to be a charming neighborhood. I would certainly stay there again.
