Best Block in the Bywater - valid license

On the hippest street in the Bywater - amongst new (and old) bars, restaurants, galleries and parks. 1500 SF of grand old rambling shotgun with 14' ceilings, hardwood floors and incredible architectural details. Frozen in time.

Do your research and you'll see you're smack dab in the middle of the Bywater buzz.
You're across the street from The Country Club with a huge pool!

11 historic blocks to Frenchman St. in the Marigny.
12 historic blocks to the French Quarter

The shared laundry room is out back with washer, dryer, iron/board and extra supplies.
Adults only pool across the street at The Country Club with cover charge.

Fenced back yard.

The home is one block away from a 'Blue Bike' bicycle share kiosk.

Bus #5 stops on our corner and goes through the Bywater, Marigny, French Quarter and CBD.
or JUST STROLL!

Christmas trip
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!

Cute spot in the best neighborhood
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.

Great stay
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.

Awesome home and location!
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!

Great find in a unique neighborhood
Daniel and Jon were fantastic hosts--communicative, responsive, and friendly. We rolled in later at night on a Sunday and settled ourselves before walking across the street to a neighborhood bar that was still going strong. After dog walking in the beautiful river park (on the other side of the levee wall) n the mornings, we found local coffee/breakfast walking in every direction, and would go back to any of them. More space than we needed but nice to have the room. Shotgun style allowed us to sleep further from the street noise (never to a problematic level, but active). We didn't spend much time at the house but it was a perfect landing site in between sightseeing. The roads are tight so once we parked Sunday, we opted for Lyfts and walking. 30 min leisurely walk to French Quarter and quick rides just about everywhere else. Really appreciated the location (& AC) and ease of hosts. If they'll have us, we'll be back.

This historical double home was a gem within a quaint little neighborhood, full of restaurants and the cutest little coffee shop around the corner. Within a short distance from the French Quarter, Jon and Dan's home was the perfect little spot without being in all the hustle and bustle. They even put together a great list of attraction suggestions! Wonderful home excellent hosts!

A Cool Stay in a Hot City!!!
A foray to the Big Easy in August is not for the faint of heart - it was HOT and humid during our stay, but Daniel and Jon's VRBO in the Bywater was the perfect respite - clean, cool, and inviting. We chose this rental because of it's location in a great neighborhood and that it had 3 distinct bedroom areas so each member of our group could have their own space and bed. But, this rental was so much more than it's location and layout! Communication about the rental was excellent and timely from the moment we made reservation until we left. The rental was very clean, comfortable, and well-stocked, having everything and more that someone could potentially need while on vacation. The beds were inviting, kitchen easy to navigate, and bathroom had a claw foot tub. The unit had beautiful hardwood floors throughout and a delightful back patio area. Because our time in NOLA was during August, I would like to rave about the air conditioning - it was GREAT!!! It allowed us to actually sleep at night and feel refreshed each morning. If you happen to be in New Orleans over the weekend, don't miss brunch at The Country Club across the street from this rental; reservations strongly advised. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in New Orleans and look forward to staying at this VRBO again. Thanks for a great visit!!!

Great location, but
Location was great. Very convenient to French Quarter, Aquarium and the Superdome. We had but of a mixup with check-in, but the owner responded quickly. Thankfully, the person staying in the adjacent unit was very understanding when we entered our key code and it unlocked her unit and we walked in on her. A bit awkward LOL, but again she was very understanding. Key code we were given worked on her door as well as the one next door that we were actually staying in (same owner). The home was decorated nicely and the beds were extremely comfortable! I will say the only real negative was the unit did have fleas mostly in the front living room so we did not hang out in there much. If we were staying more than one night it would have been an issue, however we were only in town for one night so we made the most of it. I messaged the host upon our departure to let them know they may want to have it treated.

We enjoyed the lovely home and surrounding neighborhood. Walking distance to fireworks for the 4th. We felt very safe with our 3 children as well. The plants in the back patio are amazing, making you feel almost like you are in the jungle - but not. Beds are AMAZING! My kids even said they slept wonderfully. I greatly appreciate the owners quick responses when we had questions as well. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful time staying in NOLA at this property. It really is a great street in the bywater, and it's only about a 20 min walk to the French Quarter and a grocery store. There is so much to do and see that's within walking distance. And to top it off, the owners, Dan & Jon are attentive and fabulous. We definately plan to return!
