Overview
1BR , 1BA + Living, Sleeps 2-4, Courtyard And Off Street Parking
Our house is located at the NW corner of the Bywater, one block from the Marigny and five from the Mississippi. We live in the back of the house. The front two rooms and bathroom of this recently renovated 1850's classic New Orleans shotgun make up the private apartment.
There is a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker, in lieu of a kitchen. French doors open to a gated courtyard where you are welcome to lounge and entertain. The house is on Rampart St at Press St, the border between the Bywater and Marigny, which is an industrial strip with an active, sporadic rail. This means that we are ideally situated in both neighborhoods and also that we hear our lovely train at odd hours. It's charming, but at times loud.
We're a short walk to amazing restaurants, bars, coffee shops, thrift stores, art galleries and parks. Frenchman St is about seven blocks away and the French Quarter is ten. Renting bikes is a great option for seeing the city (we can recommend a good rental place if this is of interest) or if you prefer to rent a car there is always available parking right out front. The Bywater really is a magical place from which to explore the rest of the city. Feel free to send word if you have questions. We'd love to have you!

Hands Down: My "Go-to" in NOLA
Lily Pad is wonderful. Right close to all the dynamic neighborhood action in NOLA Bywater neighborhood. LP has plenty of cold, cold A/C and hot hot-water. What's not to love?
Comfy pad in sweet location
Erin and Travis are marvelous hosts. The apartment is clean, tastefully decorated and perfectly located for an authentic NOLA experience. I would traditionally be turned off by a lack of kitchen, but the set up is more than adequate and there is absolutely no need to cook in this scrumptious city. Beautiful food just blocks away. Highly recommended.
got to love the lily pad
this is a sweet spot, great location and fine hosts. there's a small but tasty selection of books and vinyl and a radio to catch some wwoz. its close to new Orleans airlift music box and Saturn bar and bike rental. lily pad has got the soul and spirit for sure. will hopefully be back..
Charming home. Charming owners. Love neighborhood
When we arrived we couldn't figure out the futon and within seconds a friendly face was knocking. I can't figure out if it would be the adorably decorated and surprisingly spacious house we would return to or the St Rochs market/restaurant or the friendly owners. The place ended up nearly paying for itself because with plenty of parking spaces we saved over a hundred while we were on a cruise for a week and just came back on our way out. Loved the yard too. See you soon!
Perfect place very well located for a unique New Orleans experience
The Lily Pad is ideal in practically every way. Perfectly maintained and decorated by Erin and Travis. We look forward to returning.
The Lily Pad was perfect!
We loved this charming little home in beautiful Bywater. It was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. There were lots of little extras, shampoo and conditioner, wonderful body wash, nice towels and bed linens. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and we slept very well. We knew about the trains and they didn't bother us at all. We either slept through them or woke briefly and fell right back to sleep.
Lily Pad is an easy walk to some great eateries. We enjoyed New Orleans Cake Cafe and Flora's cafe for breakfast and we walked to The Joint one evening for ribs. We also walked to Frenchmen St. And The French Quarter. It was an easy hike and it was fun looking at all the different houses. We also used Uber frequently and it was usually around $6-7 from the house to the Quarter.
One morning we had a big storm and couldn't get an Uber. We were hungry so we poked through the drawer under the coffee maker - oatmeal!!!! Our wonderful hosts thought of everything!!! We made coffee and oatmeal, opened the door into the garden, put some jazz on the turntable and had a fine old time.
If you are coming to New Orleans, do yourself a favor and skip the big hotels in the French Quarter. You can't do better than than the Bywater and the Lily Pad. The REAL New Orleans. We can't wait for our next visit.
