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.

Wonderful
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.

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!

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

The home was nice but can stand a few things like a ironing board, new shower curtain liner , paper towels & maybe Aired out when not in use ( we had to burn a candle) to get the old house smell out.

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!

Comfortable place to stay and beautiful location!
We had a good experience! Overall the place is comfortable and easily accessible. It was perfect for two people. The bed was good, but just a bit difficult for two people accustomed to a king size.

Excellent stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was exactly what we wanted. The check-in communication was helpful and on-time. Maltilde provided a number of restaurant recommendations in the neighborhood within walking distance that were all excellent. Recommended. Would stay again.

Perfect
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!

Amazing VRBO with walkability to wonderful places!
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!

Quiet, hip, welcoming
Matilde and Gustavo were great. The house was lovely. Be sure and take advantage of the river walk from the neighborhood into the old city. The Country Club is a must for drinks and dinner or lunch.

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!

Wonderful Stay in Bywater district
I enjoyed my stay in historic Bywater. The house was well appointed and the host was most gracious and was a lovely walk through the neighborhood with stores nearby and to the French Quarter. Staff at Elizabeth's restaurant were friendly especially the bartender and food was delicious!

Great little home in a nice area!

Great place to stay!
The apartment is located in the Bywater District. This is being currently developed with lots of cafes, restaurants, etc. Very eclectic streets that showcase beautiful homes with lots of charm. The apartment was very clean and tastefully decorated. It had a private yard in the back with a deck and some chairs. It was so quiet and peaceful to sit out there. Matilde and Gustavo made sure that every amenity was there so we were able to cook and do laundry without needing anything but some food. We had lunch at Elizabeth's. This is a local casual restaurant that was very busy - even on a Wednesday! The food was delicious and the service was great; our waitress was very friendly! Matilde and Gustavo gave us numerous suggestions on where to eat, places to see, etc. This location is awesome, with so many things to do within walking distance. You can walk to the French Market, Royal St., and Frenchman St. Gustavo has an art gallery on Royal St. with amazing pieces of art. We had dinner at Mr. B's Bistro and it was outstanding. We also had dinner on our last night at The Country Club. This is a very unique place that was right around the corner from this apartment. You must go here! Brunch was at Paladar 511(recommended by Matilde). You must try the lemon ricotta pancakes. They were light, fluffy, and were the best we have ever had! Matilde and Gustavo are gracious hosts and we look forward to coming back to stay here again!

A quaint little gem in the perfect location!
Cute and tidy apartment full of charm and amazing art. Walking distance to the French Quarter and Frenchmens street. Great restaurants and bars near by. We quickly learned, we didn't need to leave the neighborhood, so many fun places to eat and drink within blocks of the front door. Gustavo and Matilde were amazing hosts, they made themselves available before and during the stay. The apartment had everything we needed, including the outdoor patio. Truly a perfect visit in NOLA. We would stay here again.
