Persimmon Cottage

Guesthouse · Bywater · New Orleans

8.6from 160 ratings

Two shotgun cottages joined around a banana-tree courtyard in the Bywater, painted persimmon-orange and run by a former line cook whose biscuit breakfasts are half the review score. Crescent Park and the river levee are a three-block walk; the Quarter is a 25-minute one, or ten by the bikes they lend out. Rooms are small and the shotgun-house acoustics mean you will hear your neighbor's alarm clock — bring headphones, gain a home.

Why it earns the score

Biscuits, bikes and a neighborhood that still feels like itself — the anti-chain at a fair rate.

Will you sleep well?

The details that actually decide it — not the thread count in the brochure.

  • quiet courtyard side
  • window units that hum you to sleep
  • real cotton sheets
