Maxie & Lydia’s place is GREAT! The location right on the bayou was just perfect for the type of vaca we wanted. We had our small dog with us, so we were able to walk along the water and over to City Park, and Lydia was kind enough to tell us about a softball field around the corner that was a great spot to throw the ball around for him! We loved this neighborhood, lots of dog friendly spots and good restaurants/markets. Lydia was there to greet us when we arrived and offered wonderful suggestions - I think we went to nearly every spot she recommended, and some of them we went twice! We walked down Esplanade to Bourbon street, it was a lovely walk and took us only about 30 minutes. The place itself is cute, spacious, clean, and very quiet! I highly recommend this spot & would come back again if I have the chance!
