Lydia was a friendly host, and we enjoyed staying at her home. The apt. was spacious and the amenities suited our needs. The bed was comfortable and we slept very well (nice and quiet). We were grateful for the air conditioner churning out cold air as the temps. in NOLA were quite warm during our visit. It is a great location along the bayou and close to nice restaurants, good coffee, a market, and the wonderful City Park. We got around town on public bikes and there are rental stations close by.
