Lydia was a fantastic host and the space was perfect. It is within walking distance to City Park, a favorite area of mine. Morning Call was awesome! I came for a book signing event so, for me, it was in the perfect location: close enough to the Quarter for me to visit but far enough away so that the Mardi Gras crowds were not a bother. The apartment was wonderful and I loved the feel of it. Lydia had some local items waiting for me to try and I loved the Sweet Orange Abita and the coffee was fantastic. The only negative about the apartment is that the shower is tiny. However, it does not take away from the place and would not prevent me from coming back- it just took some strategic maneuvering! Lydia herself was lovely and super helpful. Overall, I loved it and I would book any of her listings in a heartbeat if I came back to town.
