A perfect stay in NOLA! The place was well stocked with all the necessaries and decorated impeccably. The location was amazing. Close enough to the action without being right in the center of it all. Hosts were lovely. Would definitely stay here again!

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

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!!

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!

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
