This is definitely the place to stay if you want a real New Orleans experience. The home is nestled on a quiet street in the Bywater and many shops, cafes, and amazing restaurants are within walking distance. The touristy spots like Frenchman Street and The French Quarter are a short Uber or bike ride away, but Lyle and Dana’s home is so comfortable that some nights you may just opt to stay in and enjoy the beautiful space and lovely conversation.
Even though this is a traditional B and B with some communal spaces, you are also given as much space and privacy as you require. I visited during my college finals week and was able to do my course work online and balance that perfectly with the social experience of the space.
There is also a wonderful dog named Bubba who will play fetch with you for hours, if you let him. He is perfectly trained and the most gentle creature!
The breakfast that is served is robust and flavorful and the beds, linens, towels, soaps, and cleaning products are all top notch.
If you’re looking for a *true* B and B experience and not just another lock and key short term rental unit managed by a nameless, faceless owner… then look no further than Obeah Guesthouse. 🖤
