New Orleans is a favorite place for me to visit. It never gets old. What made this visit truly remarkable compared to my other visits in the past was my stay at Maxie and Lydia’s place.
I loved that it was located near the Fairgrounds, within walking distance to the Jazz Fest while also just a few miles away from the French Quarter. Their place is in a quiet neighborhood right across the Bayou St. John, where one can walk/run or just sit in peace by the bayou. There are also food stores and great restaurants/cafes nearby.
The apartment (Sweet Suite) was quaint, spacious and clean. The beds are super comfortable; the pillows, sheets & towels are simply topnotch cozy. The apartment was a perfect place to cool off and decompress after a crazy day at the Fest or sightseeing.
Our hosts welcomed us with specials treats and a cocktail hour. (So sweet! Who does that these days??) They were so helpful with guiding us around the area ~ what to see, where not to go, etc.
At the end of each day, after running around town or at the Jazz Fest, going back to Maxie and Lydia’s place really felt like ‘going home’. Not going back to the hotel. Our one week stay felt like we came to visit and stay with family or close friends. We were very comfortable in their place. They were truly ‘Super Hosts’! Thank you!
