Laurie was a wonderful hostess who has family roots in NOLA so she was able to provide me with great accomodations but also a history lesson about the area. Just being able to get up in the morning and go downstairs to make a cup of coffee in her spacious kitchen was wonderful! She provides every amenity in the event a guest has forgotten to pack something, e.g.: cotton bslls, qtips, chapstick, lint roller. I would love to stay there again next time I visit that area. Thanks Laurie!!
