From the moment we arrived Folwell made us feel welcome and the house was incredible. The tall ceilings and architectural details were beautiful. The art was soothing and the interior design throughout modern and minimalist. The sheets and towels were wonderful, and the bed was very comfortable. That said, we didn't stay at home much! We parked our car and never got in it until it was time to leave. The Bikes are amazing!! Biking into New Orleans was a leisurely ride, and you really felt like part of the action.
Bywater is a funky, artsy, historic little piece of heaven. Best pizza I have ever had was far too close and convenient, Pizza Delicious! We walked to bars that had been there forever, and Markey's was especially friendly. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance and Satsuma Coffee had incredible croissants. The people are extremely friendly and there were even a few Roll Tider's.
New Orleans is so close that we would explore the city, ride back to Bywater eat & nap, then head back into the city. The WWII museum was fantastic, took about 6 hours to see and the Oyster Porkbelly "taco" is a must in the cafe there.
I can not say enough positive about this experience and I hope we get a chance to go back to Elegant Bywater Shotgan.
