We thoroughly enjoyed our recent trip to New Orleans. Shannon's Bywater home was clean, bright, comfortable, roomy and beautifully decorated in authentic period detail. Also equipped with enough modern amenities to favorably compare to staying at a new hotel. It was easy getting back and forth from the French Quarter by foot, taxi or the 88 bus at all hours. Wish we had had a chance to use the bikes that Shannon offered. Hostess Shannon provides an informative binder on the surrounding neighborhood attractions, transportation options, house features and practices that really answered most of our questions. I highly recommend her place for the visitor to New Orleans who wants comfort, quiet, and convenience in a beautifully restored and updated 1880's era house.
