Absolutely the best location. We walked everywhere and felt extremely safe. Loved having Crescent Park just a few steps away. We were in NOLA for an extended time and had our dog with us. The park was super close and safe. Visited The Country Club, Markey’s, Pepp’s Pub, Acamaya (delicious), Evviva and Bacchanal. I’d suggest going early to Bacchanal as it was at capacity and could not find a seat. The house was beautiful! Will absolutely stay here again.

Our stay was fabulous. I have seen shotgun homes from the outside. I was really fun to see the layout. The neighborhood was quiet. Food all around. House clean and inviting. Coffee and other amenities provided. Would absolutely stay in this home and Bywater area again.

The property was very clean. We appreciated the traditional style of the home. The location was amazing. We always felt safe and there was a ton of great food around the area. We never used the pool because of time and the cover charge. The air conditioning worked very well. The only con I have is that the two queen sized beds were very bowl shaped. You always sank into the middle and it did cause some back and neck discomfort. But overall, we loved our stay here.

Rooms were great, location was excellent. It is a duplex, so you can hear the footsteps and conversations of people next door. I had earplugs and a white noise machine so it was fine for us. The mattresses are VERY soft, fair warning to anyone with a bad back. I would totally stay here again for location alone (my husband and I had to sleep in separate beds due to mattress).

Great find in a cute neighborhood, alive with restaurants, bars, music and thrifting. The unit was lovely, and we enjoyed the garden in the back in the mornings and evenings. The nights were quiet. Short ride to French Quarter and other neighborhoods. It was a lovely stay. Highly recommend.

This was one of the most beautiful houses we’ve stayed in and the location was amazing for our short stay! There were cute local food and shops walking distance to the house, and it was a short drive to all of well known spots we wanted to see on our trip! The host was very friendly and helpful and the food recommendations came in handy. Thank you so much for the beautiful home for my family and pets!

So Cute!

We had a great stay at this little house in New Orleans! The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to see and do. The house itself was cute, clean, and full of charm. It had a cozy, welcoming feel, and my family really enjoyed our time there. It was the perfect home base for exploring the city, and we’d definitely stay again!

Comfortable and convenient

We were only there for one night, but we were all very comfortable. Parking was difficult because of the traffic from the club across the street, but we were still able to park within 2 blocks of the house. The hosts were great! I see why the property has so many good reviews.

Fantastic Bywater Stay

Absolutely amazing classic shotgun style apartment/duplex in a great location in the Bywater neighborhood. Located on a quiet street, walking distance to great local restaurants, bars and shops. Apartment was clean, comfortable and fully appointed with all necessary amenities. Beds were so comfortable, ceiling fans in each bedroom made for comfortably cool nights. Jonathan was a perfect host, great communicator snd allowed for late check out so we could make the most of our time. Recommend breakfast at Elizabeth’s just a 5-10 min walk, and short neighborhood walks to Vaughn’s for drinks, Baccannal Wine Bar, St Germain’s Wine Bar or vintage shopping at Tiger Rag Vintage or Lowtimers. Short uber/Lyft to Magazine St, French Quarter, lower Garden District. Came for a girls-trip but perfect for a couples getaway - will definitely stay again!

perfect home base for our week in nola

we loved our stay here, the house had a great location, friendly hosts, a really good amount of space, all the basic amenities, and really good A/C, which was a lifesaver in the 90 degree weather. Only downside was that the wi-fi signal was pretty spotty, but we just worked from nearby cafes which was better anyway. Would 100% stay here again next time im in nola!

Bywater Best!

The location was wonderful and the home was historic and beautiful! What a great place! It was well stocked and had some little things you may have forgotten-like sunscreen! It was easy to make a meal in the large kitchen and wash up some clothes in the laundry room mid-week. It was our first time in New Orleans. We rode the Blue Bikes for 95% of our trip, planned ahead and took our helmets. Even biked to the grocery store nearby. There was a dock just a little over 1 block away. There were 4 of us, so sometimes we split up to get bikes. The next dock was only 3 blocks away. It was a perfect way to really see the city. There are docks in MANY places and an app that makes them easy to locate. Went to La Petite Clouette Coffee shop for fabulous pastries and quiche, Pizza Delicious with that crunchy crust bottom crust and The Country Club for amazing food and awesome entertainment!!!! The hosts were super responsive and helpful with any questions. There was soooo much more to see and do, in the Bywater neighborhood and in New Orleans! We will come back and stay right here for sure, it will feel like home
