the lily pad- heart of the bywater

We spent our honeymoon in New Orleans and could not have asked for a better place to stay. We loved opening up the doors to the courtyard in the mornings and spending time in the evening at the small patio table outside drinking wine with one of the resident friendly cats, Stella. The neighborhood and location is ideal, we were able to walk to a lot of lovely spots and wandering around the Bywater was one of my favorite parts of our trip. Quality touches throughout, we felt spoiled the whole time. When we return to NOLA we will certainly be seeking out this place again.

Gracious hosts who have thought of all their guests needs! Slept like a baby and actually found the train to be part of the charming location! Easy parking on the street in New Orleans is always a plus! “Bywater” is a great area!

Lily Pad was fantastic and we would recommend it to other couples for sure. The place was impeccably clean, the decore was interesting and classy, and it had all the amenities one could want including a blue tooth speaker, a comfy bed, coffee and an efficiency (sink only in bathroom).

We stayed 6 nights and while we didn’t see our hosts, they were great checking in via messaging and highly responsive.

It is right by the train tracks but the train didn’t wake me at night and it was charming during the day.

The Lily Pad is a lovely space in the Bywater neighborhood. Walkable to Frenchmen and the French Quarter, with lots of charming distractions along the way. The only minor downfall is the nearby railroad, with nightly trains running. Would definitely stay here again!

Good location and always able to park in front of the home. No TV or radio so could not keep up with the news or the weather.
