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!

Wonderful studio in excellent area

We had a wonderful time staying at Matilde's studio in the Bywater. The beautiful home boasted everything one might desire, from AC to space to a warm neighborhood. Many excellent restaurants, bars, and shopping nearby!

Great place to stay

I am from the New Orleans area and know the area of this apartment quite well. It is located close to the interstate and to the Marigny, City Park, and French Quarter. Matilde was delightful and quite helpful and quick to answer all questions. The area has a lot of character.

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!

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!

excellent experience

Property looked just like the pictures. Quiet neighborhood. Close to the French Quarter, but off the beaten path. We brought our bikes and road back and forth to the French Quarter. Friendly, helpful neighbors. Matilde responded very quickly to all of our texts. We've recommended this property to all of our friends and hope to go back.

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.

Charming with everything I needed

I stayed here for a couple of weeks when in NOLA for work and was really happy with the place and the neighbourhood. The apartment is laid out shotgun-style, with two high ceilinged airy rooms and a separate closet space and bathroom with shower. Lots of natural light and generally quiet at night. The owners were welcoming and so helpful anytime I contacted them, and made some great suggestions for things to do in the area and in NOLA. As I was staying a while I made good use of the kitchen and appreciated the gas stove! Both of the owners are artists and their paintings can be seen in the adjoining studio at the front of the house--they have different styles but each make striking work. There are some of the artist's paintings in the apartment which I liked seeing each day. The Bywater neighbourhood has some wonderful restaurants, including Bacchanal, Elizabeth's, Maurepas, Booty's and Oxalis right at the corner--Oxalis is a lovely atmospheric place to have a good glass of wine. Franklin nearby is also excellent. I cycled everywhere--there are a lot of potholes but local bikes are designed to cope with these, and it is a great way to see the neighbourhood and explore the Quarter and the Warehouse District. Overall a lovely place to stay which is well located.

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!
