GOOD LOCATION: If you're inclined to stay in the Bywater district for some comparative peace and quiet slightly away from the French Quarter, then this is a good option. It's a short walk to the waterfront park and a reasonable 20-25 minute walk to the French Quarter. We actually took Uber/Lyft to the FQ several times and the average cost was about $9. We felt it was still a better value all around.
POSITIVES: The owners are right on top of the communication process. We quickly received answers and support on the few needs and questions we had. The unit is nicely decorated in a charming New Orleans style and for the most part we had everything required. It was also clean and well attended to. The check-in process was a breeze.
NEGATIVES: The biggest surprise for us was that the unit did not have any closet space to hang up clothes. The only option was dresser drawers. We had to ask for some hangers and then hung the necessary items wherever we could get a workable ledge. There ARE closets in the unit but they are locked and not available to guests. We also had to ask for shower wash cloths and would have benefited from some more towels. Another minor irritation was poor soundproofing. We often heard the dog next door barking and in one instance we also heard every word of a late-night argument the owners were having (fortunately it was very brief). The final thing that we didn't care for was the flannel sheets. Some people may love that but we did not.
BOTTOM LINE: Overall, we felt this was a good value. I took away a star for some of the above mentioned issues, but otherwise it was a good experience. We would happily stay there again if we were in the area.
