September 2026Wish we could stay here longer
Our stay at The Mazant was exceptional from start to finish. We were welcomed with jazz playing throughout the home, a thoughtful note, and refreshments in the refrigerator. The pre arrival information was thorough and made everything easy, and we had no issues during our stay. The home itself is full of character, and the porch quickly became our favorite place to gather. The air conditioning worked perfectly despite the heat and humidity. We also loved the Bywater neighborhood, with restaurants and bars within easy walking distance and a wonderful sense of community. By the end of our stay, we truly felt at home and were sorry to leave. The Mazant is a very special place, and we were fortunate to fill it with some great memories.”

September 2026Magic in the Bywater
This home is incredible. Jeff the host has tended to every last detail in order to make your stay perfect. From impeccable interior design, to live plants all over the house, to the perfect pool towels - you will want for nothing in this home. Kevin the property manager is so delightful and responsive we wanted him to come stay with us! We were a group of 8 middle aged couples and we found the location to be the PERFECT location to explore many New Orleans neighborhoods without being directly in the French Quarter. Every neighborhood we wanted to visit was a short Uber away, and the Bywater neighborhood itself is full of amazing walkable restaurants. This is the perfect spot for quality time with your favorite people. Just book it.”

June 2026Outstanding Multi-generational Family Vacation at the Mazant
Our stay at The Mazant was the highlight of our recent trip to New Orleans. The property is the perfect blend of old-world charm with modern comforts. Elegant furnishings, a well-stocked kitchen, coffee bar, and laundry room, the hosts supplied us with everything needed to make it our "home away from home" for our weeklong stay. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive with fountains, a pool and spa, and several separate seating vignettes for groups small and large. Stocked with board games and yard games, this home has it all for a fun filled family vacation. The Mazant is an outstanding choice. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. ”
