We had a wonderful time at Maxine’s Place! We were a larger group, and Maxine’s Place has enough beds for all of us. This was something that was hard to find elsewhere. Much of the home is recently renovated. It’s spacious and comfortable and has two separate outdoor seating areas.
The kitchen was well stocked with the basics and the bathrooms had the amenities needed. The home was ready for us at check-in and was very clean. I found the location quiet and felt safe and welcomed in the neighborhood. We had a car that made it easy for us to get around. Public transportation seemed nearby, but we didn’t use it.
Maxine and her son, her co-host, are lovely people. In spontaneous fashion, I got married to my now husband during our stay in NOLA. Maxine was able to provide thread for altering my dress, provided us with some flour for our wedding day biscuits and gravy, and gave us a lovely card wishing us happiness in our marriage.
Maxine goes that extra step that not all hosts do. She greets you with a smile and warmth, and by her actions shows you that her priority is to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. I appreciated her consistent quick responses to any messages I sent and truly appreciated her approachability.
We will always think fondly of this trip to New Orleans. Maxine’s Place was a great home base to come to each night. She adds those extra special touches that makes your stay memorable! Thank you, Maxine!
