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.

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!

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.

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 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!

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!

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.
