About this property

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!

Fantastic Bywater Stay

Absolutely amazing classic shotgun style apartment/duplex in a great location in the Bywater neighborhood. Located on a quiet street, walking distance to great local restaurants, bars and shops. Apartment was clean, comfortable and fully appointed with all necessary amenities. Beds were so comfortable, ceiling fans in each bedroom made for comfortably cool nights. Jonathan was a perfect host, great communicator snd allowed for late check out so we could make the most of our time. Recommend breakfast at Elizabeth’s just a 5-10 min walk, and short neighborhood walks to Vaughn’s for drinks, Baccannal Wine Bar, St Germain’s Wine Bar or vintage shopping at Tiger Rag Vintage or Lowtimers. Short uber/Lyft to Magazine St, French Quarter, lower Garden District. Came for a girls-trip but perfect for a couples getaway - will definitely stay again!

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 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!

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan Cothern

Host profile image
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
