My friends and I absolutely loved staying at Betsey's! Although we never had a chance to meet, she was extremely helpful and responsive by phone. Her place was very clean and tastefully decorated. We all loved the vintage mixed with modern charm. Not to mention, the bed is really comfortable! She even had a compilation of recommended restaurants/bars to check out... which proved to be so informative and useful! The neighborhood was our favorite part. The best part of Bywater is the amazing restaurants and bars. We actually all would have been content staying in the neighborhood. It is also located far enough from all the noise and chaos of the French Quarter, but close enough to walk. Despite the temperamental weather, we actually ended up walking everywhere during our trip. It was a great way to explore the city. All in all, my friends and I had an awesome first time experiencing New Orleans, and a lot of it had to do with the great accomodations Betsey provided. We will definitely be back (hopefully soon)!
