Authentic New Orleans feel all around inside and out. Very quiet neighborhood for early mornings and evenings sitting on the porch. Great coffee and kitchen had everything I needed. Great shower with plenty of hot water and I found the bed to be quite comfortable. Will definitely stay again if and when I return to New Orleans!
Easy check in. Home was clean and neat. Host was very responsive. Home was well equipped. The view was not what I expected. It’s close to the downtown area
Patricia left little notes about different things such as potential freeze weather, letting us know if something is out of order, just little quality of life things. She was so responsive and helpful whenever we had any type of issue. I stayed for the Rockin 1000 event and it was beyond the expression of words, the perfect spot to unwind and relax after long days. Yeah downtown is awesome, but being right next to Bywater is probably the best decision I could’ve made, always 11/10 experiences. Highly highly recommend this place, 10 stars if possible
This is our 2nd time staying at this location that’s perfectly settled next to the Mississippi River. Conveniently located close to everything exciting, we look forward to our next visit.
We really enjoyed the week! Patricia was accommodating and the location was excellent for easy trips into the French quarter and beyond. Would stay again!
Loved staying here! Perfect location! Quiet and safe neighborhood! Everything was clean and everything we could possibly need was provided for us! Definitely plan to come back!

I'm so glad you had a good time. Hope to see you again!!
We have stayed here before, it is always quiet, relaxing and a great place. We enjoyed several of the local restaurants one of our favorites being Frady's fantastic food. We found a bakery called Bywater Bakery, it has the best Chantilly cake. Great placesvto visit and see the culture, here in bywater.
We had a really great time. Very nice amenities were available. The matress was amazingly comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Host was nice, made check in very easy. Can not see the river from the porch. Apartment was very clean and nice. The neighborhood was an interesting experience . Dont really have too much to say about the shops near-by, because quite frankly I wasnt going to stop. Did go to Bourbon street, the food was great.
Great, clean shotgun duplex in lower 9th Ward. Easy access to French Quarter, Mid-City, Treme, etc: either a 10 minute drive or a 12-15 can ride. Patricia is a kind and responsive host. Would definitely stay again.
