The Bywater is a colorful, fun/funky, and reasonably quiet corner of NOLA. Rainbow hues of houses compete with old industrial spaces on the margins. Easy to get to from most places of interest, but a little tucked away to give the streets a mellow, residential feel. Train tracks nearby, so be prepared for the sound of heavy freight and horns from time to time. The house is set up well for simple comfort, and the host was very responsive. Enjoyed our time there, and found the house/host combo to be super to work with.
