The Neighborhood:
Situated on the edge of the Bywater, our little neighborhood is between the canal, St. Claude Ave, Poland Ave, and North Claiborne Ave. Lowpoint (coffee shop) is the anchor of the neighborhood and the other side of St. Claude Ave (two blocks away) is the heart of the Bywater. The Bywater is a historic neighborhood with colorful homes and lots of great bars and restaurants (Bacchanal, Parleaux, Vaughns, Bj's, etc.) - we recommend checking it out! If the weather is nice and you have comfortable shoes, walking from the Bywater --> Marigny --> French Quarter (stopping at bars and restaurants along the way!) is a great way to spend a day.

Getting Around:
+2 minute walk to Lowpoint, a great little neighborhood coffee shop.
+2 minute drive or 10 minute walk to some of our favorite bars in the Bywater, including Bacchanal, Parleaux Beer Lab, Vaughns, and BJ's Lounge.
+7 minute drive to Frenchman Street.
+10 minute drive to the French Quarter and Bourbon Street.
+12 minute drive to the Superdome
+15 minute drive to the Earnest Memorial Convention Center.

Other Things to Note:
Furniture and art may vary from pictures.

We have 24/7 on-site staff / security - we're in the small building with the CastleDay logo. Guests can stop by for complimentary extra supplies (paper towels, dish soap, etc.) or immediate assistance in the event of a lockout.

As part of our commitment to being good neighbors, quiet hours (10pm-8am) are enforced.

Per City of New Orleans regulations, this property is equipped with a noise monitoring device. It does NOT record actual sounds or conversations, it simply monitors the noise level (measured in decibels). We know you're a large group - just keep noise to a reasonable volume outside. This device also monitors occupancy and cigarette smoke.

For the security of our guests, we have external recording devices (security cameras) located by the front gate and back door. All cameras are exterior only.

For the privacy of our guests and our neighbors, drones are prohibited. Please note that our neighbor, the US Army Corps of Engineers, will take legal action in the event a drone flies onto their property.

Monday and Thursday morning pool cleaning and landscape maintenance: On Monday and Thursday mornings (between 7:30am-11:30am) our pool maintence tech comes to check the chemicals and clean the pool and our landscaper comes (every other Thursday) to do landscape maintenance.

Use of the swimming pool is at your own risk.

IDs will be requested for verification after booking.
