This is my second time in NOLA and staying in Bywater was a much different experience than staying in the hotels in the French Quarter...a much more unique comfortable experience! To be completely honest, I had hesitations about staying in an Airbnb in NOLA especially one that was built so long ago just for the embarrassing fact of being scared of any resident ghosts, but this was of course not a problem! No scary vibes from this house! Lollll!
Although you do have to uber everywhere if you don't have a car, everywhere we needed to go was $8-15 dollars away. It was very quick and easy getting ubers from Lisa's home.
The area itself I feel was safe. We were 2 couples and enjoyed going to Bacchanal Wine and Elizabeth's which were walking distance. The crescent city riverfront park was also a nice scenic walk from the home to the French Quarter.
Lisa was quick to respond. And I appreciated her extending our check out time as our flight didn't leave until much later.
The home itself was very clean, and comfortable. We stayed here in December so it was around 30-40 degrees around this time and the central heating warmed up the place quickly.
If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter I'd definitely stay in Bywater.
Would come back again!
