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!

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!

Pre-Cruise Layover

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!!

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.

Great place in the Bywater!

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!

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!

Fabulous find. Easy access to the quarter.

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.

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.
