We have never stayed outside the touristy area of New Orleans - such a miss. Loved our stay in Bywater. Staying in a neighborhood with local restaurants and pretending to be a local for a couple of days was fun! Loved the interior of this property. Easy street parking and walking to the French Quarter was quite quick. The bed was very comfortable and the space was very well intentioned. The living area was so comfortable we just liked hanging out and relaxing. One note, just know that this has an original claw foot tub / shower. If you have mobility issues you might have trouble showering due to the step into the tub and there are no grab bars. We would have never had one of our best night's in New Orleans if we did not stay here. There is a wonderful wine bar a short drive, longer walk, in Bywater and it made for an outstanding evening! Thanks Betsey. We hope to be back soon.
