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 Neighborhood

The four of us were very comfortable here, we had everything we needed. We loved the neighborhood and having The Country Club across the street to go relax in the pool and hot tub after long days at JazzFest and sightseeing was so convenient. Dan was a responsive host. We would definitely stay here again.

Fun spot in the Bywater

We had a great stay here over Easter break. The neighborhood is fun and close to lots of good food and fun. We walked 20 minutes into the French Quarter, either through the neighborhoods or along the riverfront. Dan and Jon were helpful, relaxed hosts, and their restaurant recommendations were excellent!

Amazing

Words cannot describe how perfect and amazing this stay is. Pictures do not do it justice! It is VERY clean and beautifully decorated. It's quiet and private and there is so much space! The neighborhood is very safe and there is lots to do. The hosts are kind and are easy to communicate with. They took the time to print out a list of things to do and it's worth the read. Im not sure if I'll ever be able to stay anywhere else when I visit , cuz this was it!

Lovely place

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!!

Perfect

We rented this property as a sisters get-a-way for three nights. The neighborhood is quirky and fun. We enjoyed walking to the French Quarter, checking out the murals and homes decorated for Mardis Gras, and alternatively taking the path in Crescent Park by the river. Dan, our host, was friendly and super responsive. He sent us very helpful info prior to our arrival. We highly recommend Satsuma Cafe a few blocks away for coffee/breakfast, Markey’s Bar across the street for a nice variety of beer on tap, the Bacchanal for dinner and wine a short walk away, and the Parleaux Beer Lab for tasty brews. We’d love to come back!

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

Wonderful location, supportive neighbors, and gracious hosts

We had a great stay at Jon and Dan’s place. They helped field a number of questions in the months leading up to our trip that I sent through VRBO messaging and were responsive by phone and messaging as needed throughout our stay. The house is a twin, both sides are vacation rentals, and year-round neighbors on the block were very welcoming and are friends with Jon and Dan. (A positive relationship with neighbors is the most important aspect of staying in a vacation rental).It is a shotgun house so all of the bedrooms are also hallways either to the kitchen and yard, bathroom, or living room and front door. (We were prepared for the limited privacy). The kitchen table has seating for only two people, and the backyard has a bigger 4-6 person table. You could probably bring extra chairs into the kitchen but it’s kinda tight and not a lot of food prep space, though there are plenty of utensils, dishes and basic tools (including bakeware).The location is so nice. Walkable to crescent park, across the street from the country club, near a park with a playground, and close to other great shopping, restaurants and bars, and cultural spots (beanlandia and Studio Be).We had a great stay and appreciate such thoughtful hosts and comfortable space.

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.
