My stay at Judith's place was a fabulous experience. She was warm and welcoming from the moment she answered the door, and I felt as though I had returned to visit a friend I hadn't seen in a long time. She was generous with her time, and filled us in on how to get around the city and provided some great suggestions on what to do during our stay. (And if you like ceviche, there's a great Peruvian restaurant just a two-minute walk away -- three if you stroll.) The trip was put together at the last minute, so her suggestions were very welcome. Among other things, she suggested going to Frenchmen Street for some great live music, and she was right. There were a number of good spots, but the Spotted Cat Music Club was my favorite. And every morning, she provided us with a wonderful breakfast with a warm croissant or muffin, coffee, and orange juice, which we enjoyed on the back deck while listening to the fountain trickle water into the fish pond. It was simply a great stay from start to finish.
