A perfect stay in NOLA! The place was well stocked with all the necessaries and decorated impeccably. The location was amazing. Close enough to the action without being right in the center of it all. Hosts were lovely. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a cruise out of NOLA, and wanted to stay the night prior. This was the perfect location and the BEST night's sleep I have had in awhile. We wandered the area, got a pizza, enjoyed the beautiful home, and considered just staying there instead of cruising!!
This place was a perfect home base for my family when we were exploring New Orleans. Lovely house, great neighborhood and an easy walk to the Quarter or Frenchman.
Awesome stay for a long weekend!! Very safe and walkable to many spots in the Bywater and one can even walk along the river trail to the French Market and the French Quarter. Hosts were also very responsive and gracoius. Just note it is a shot-gun style bedroom set-up which is very comomon in Nola, and not a problem if you know your housemates. Would love to stay here again, thanks guys!
We book this location for our Christmas trip and it was wonderful! The neighborhood was beautiful and within walking distance to the downtown area, between 20-30 mins for us. The house was also beautiful and perfect for our family. We enjoyed it so much!
My wife and I just finished a 5 night vacation in the Bywater and we could not have been more pleased with this property. It was exactly as advertised, very clean and spacious, and had all the amenities anyone could need. The hosts were super nice and the location was excellent. I highly recommend this property and when we come back to the Bywater we will definitely stay here again.
The property was great looking and set up well for families or couples (who know each other well); it’s a shotgun with doors between the rooms for privacy. The property was very clean and had everything we needed, including extra towels. Getting into the quarter was an easy walk and hopping a rideshare was also fast. If it is available, book this place in Bywater.
This property was gorgeous and in a perfect location! Squeaky clean and 14 foot ceilings!!! The decor was awesome and the beds are superior. We absolutely loved it.
Myself and two friends stayed for 5 nights here and it truly was the best block in the Bywater. Walkable to so many beautiful neighborhood spots, close to the French quarter, and a beautiful home to relax in. Dan was so responsive and accommodating! Would definitely stay again and recommend!
Love the Bywater and this place is perfectly situated. Spacious with high ceilings and very clean. It is a typical shotgun duplex situation and we were able to hear our neighbors when they got rowdy, but we were expecting that! The host is very responsive and kind, even mailing us the kindle my husband left under a pillow. Would definitely stay here again.
We loved the neighborhood, the accommodations are wonderful as well. Spacious and convenient to the entire city. Kitchen and Residence was stocked with any and everything needed.
We will return and stay at this location again in the future. Absolutely Recommended
We had an amazing stay. The house was very clean and stocked. Nice neighborhood, very interesting. Daniel was very helpful with any questions or concerns that we had. Very pleasant stay.
The place was great, with nice details and use of the space. The location is awesome near art, restaurants, park, etc. Hosts were good with communication and helping us out. Such a nice way to experience the culture of the city.
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

About the host
Hosted by Jonathan Cothern
Two easy going guys who love the laid back neighborhood and like to have a little fun ... and hope that you will too. We're nine years in Nola and feel like locals already. We're architects who work hard, play hard and appreciate the local architecture, music, art and food.
Why they chose this property
IT'S BIG and it's a shotgun. Besides 3 bedrooms, it has a fully stocked kitchen with a dining table and a living room. It sleeps 6 in real beds, plus at least 2 more on the sofa and air mattresses that we provide. (Sometimes both sides of the double are even available.) The bathroom is small, but fully remodeled with a clawfoot tub/shower.
What makes this property unique
Location, Location, Location. FENCED back yard patio for your pups.
