Lydia's place was perfect for my long weekend girls trip. There was more than enough room for my friend and I and the bed was very comfortable!
Great location close to the street car and very safe for walking to some nearby restaurants. Otherwise, it was just a 10-15 min cab ride to any of the popular parts of town - French Quarter, etc.
The bayou was beautiful and was just outside the front door. There is a sidewalk along the water which would be quite nice for morning or sunset walks... we didn't get a chance to do that but we would recommend that as an activity to future visitors!
Lydia was a great host. We kept to ourselves for the most part but when we did speak she gave some recommendations and told us the history of her beautiful home. We hope to come back in a few years and see the transformation!
Two tiny things worth mentioning: the shower was small, so if you are a tall person you may have some trouble. Lydia mentioned that redoing the bathrooms was on her renovation list! Also, the home is right next to a church so bells seem to ring on the hour. I thought that was quite nice honestly, but light sleepers may not appreciate it.
Overall this was a great stay and we would come again!
