Great place in a perfect little neighborhood!

Truly was the perfect little place in a perfect neighborhood! Where else can you have a coffee shop, several amazing restaurants, a grocery store and a country club with a swimming pool within couple blocks? We had an amazing time and our hosts were great and prompt with response with any questions. We even got to meet Gustavo and see his art studio. Fascinating guy! Truly a wonderful time!

I stayed at this property for three months and it was the best experience! It is such a cute place and way more spacious than it even looks online and gives you an authentic New Orleans feel. I love the Bywater area in New Orleans and this property was the perfect location. Very conveniently located by several local restaurants and shops with Elizabeth’s for breakfast being my favorite. With a quick walk over the rusty rainbow bridge you’re on the beautiful crescent city park trail which is a very easy way to get into the quarter and French market area. Communication with property management and the owners was a breeze and they were so accommodating. One thing to take note of is this property shares a wall with the split duplex and the walls are quite thin so you can hear your neighbors and they can hear you. This was never a problem and I had great encounters with my neighbor and other guests, but something to take note of. I stayed here by myself for three months and felt extremely safe in the unit and in the neighborhood. This place was a great find and I would love to come stay again!

Perfection!

Very clean and well-stocked apartment. Loved the neighborhood! Very fun and eclectic. Found the train whistle and bell tolling at the nearby church to be very comforting not at all annoying. The back yard was very pleasant and secluded. Made much use of that. All in all it was Perfection! Would definitely stay here again!

So comfortable, so pleasant, so cool!

We just returned from a week in New Orleans. This funky, little home in the Bywater was our main base. This was our second trip to New Orleans and we could easily access all areas of the city that we wanted to visit by walking, taking public transport, or even driving our own car anywhere we wished. Parking on the street right at the apartment was never an issue. At one point during the stay there was a mechanical issue with the water and Matilde and Gustavo went out of their way to get it fixed immediately. It didn't impact our stay at all! I've already recommended this property to others - and know that we will return ourselves - hopefully for two weeks! If you are looking to expand your vision, understanding and love of the city - this is the home and neighborhood in which to do so.

Everything we hoped for

Delightful stay in Bywater. The apartment was clean, bright and full of helpful additions like coffee, sunscreen, shampoo and other little things that make your stay better. Matilde was very responsive to questions and full of helpful advice. The area (like much of New Orleans) mixes colourful architecture with rundown buildings and friendly locals. We walked all around the neighborhood and enjoyed the bars, cafes, galleries and especially the bike share. Visit The Country Club if you can -- tasty food and the pool is a nice way to end the day.

Great space to stay! Spacious and clean, it has everything you might need. The back patio is a great feature and a lovely place to enjoy a morning coffee. The location was great, walking distance from Frenchman Street and a short Uber ride or walk away from the French Quarter. I would definately recommend.

Wonderful stay and great location!

Our hosts, Matilde and Gustavo could not have been sweeter! We felt like we were family as soon as we met them. The apartment was comfy and quiet. Be sure to tour their art gallery/studio if given the chance. The artwork is beautiful. They were amazing when our flight was cancelled and we needed to find another place to stay FAST! So accommodating and even drove us to our new digs...WOW Plenty of amazing little restaurants in the Bywater neighborhood. Easy walk to the French Quarter as well. Thank you both for making our stay so enjoyable. Can't wait to go back :) See you next time... Jan and Lori

Wonderful Bungalow

This is a wonderful little bungalow in the back of an Artist's studio. We met the artist Gustavo Duque and saw his wonderful studio but most impressive was that he is doing an exhibit to support underprivileged African students interested in medicine a chance at becoming Doctors and other Medical Professionals. The exhibit starts April 12th at 6pm at the New Orleans Art Center, 3330 St. Claude Avenue, New Orleans, LA. The exhibit will be on display from April 12 through May 6th.I believe it then moves to Texas then Atlanta, GA. Also Gustavo's wife Matilde Alberny is an artist and she manages the apartment. We did not get to meet her but seemed like a lovely woman. Some of her artwork was in the apartment as well as the studio. What we liked about this place was that it was in a nice quiet residential neighborhood with lots of vegan and vegetarian restaurants, shops and stores nearby many that cater to the vegan and vegetarian, yogic lifestyle, plus hidden gems like Gustavo's art studio and others. Also, so close to the French Quarter, Frenchman Street and the city itself. We did not have a car and made it around town just find with uber. I highly recommend this place. We had a wonderful time!

We loved our stay here. The place was clean, spacious, and very aesthetically pleasing. The neighborhood was quiet, charming and hip. Matilde's restaurant recommendations were all spot-on (Satsuma, Paladar 511). Free Tours by Foot was terrific too. We also discovered an amazing brunch with live jazz in the garden district: Atchafalaya (reservations are necessary). We didn't meet our hosts but they were very responsive on text. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

Don’t walk, run to book this VRBO! My friend and I stayed for 4 days, and we could not have been happier with experience. Matilde was so nice and communicative, and Gustavo showed us his incredible art studio attached. Bywater is great because of its history and walkability. Absolutely loved it all!

Fantastic Stay in Bywater

Matilde and Gustavo are extremely gracious hosts. The accommodations are first rate; The apartment is very clean, beautifully furnished and well equipped for a short or long stay (I stayed a month). The apartment is graced with Gustavo's beautiful art, which makes the rooms feel upscale and serene. The kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, microwave and sink - and all the silverware, dishes, pots and pans to make cooking meals very easy. Gustavo was kind enough to move a larger refrigerator into the kitchen to make my extended stay even more convenient. The bathroom and shower are spotless and easy to use, with plentiful washcloths and towels. The back yard includes a nice shared deck area with seating and a garden umbrella, and a laundry room with full size washer and dryer. The apartment is located in the heart of Bywater with easy access to nearby music venues, restaurants and bars. A car is not necessary; Ubers and taxis are plentiful, and there are several bike share docks within a couple of blocks - take advantage of the app-based ride sharing system (Social Bikes) as this is a cheap, fast and easy way to get around New Orleans. The French Market, Frenchmen Street (music!) and the French Quarter are an eight minute bike ride away! This location provides easy access to the 5 bus on Chartres St., (it goes to the French Market and Canal St) and to the 88 bus on St. Claude, providing a link to the N. Rampart St. street car for easy transfer to the Canal St and St. Charles streetcars. This Bywater location also provides easy access to Espanade Ave, for events at City Park and at the Fairgrounds (Jazz Fest). Crescent Park is just a few blocks away via the Piety Street pedestrian overpass, and this is a great venue for a nice morning stroll that provides great views of the Mississippi River and downtown New Orleans, as well as access to the French Market, the French Quarter and the Riverfront street car line. All in all, this is the perfect place to enjoy the Bywater, Marigny and other wonderful New Orleans sites and scenes!
