New Orleans like a local. We loved our stay at Lauren's. The location was perfect for what we wanted to do. Frenchman Street was our go to every night with a short walk home in a quiet family filled neighborhood. The French Quarter is also within walking distance then add in a street car stop three blocks away and you can get about anywhere. The home is well stocked with all the basics. The beds are comfortable making this a great find. Eateries we tried within walking distance- Loretta's Authentic Pralines, the beignets with soft praline were delicious. She is closed Saturday, Sunday and Monday but worth working into your schedule. The Ruby Slipper was a quaint breakfast spot. The homes throughout the neighborhood are unique and varied. The locals said hello and I quickly found myself being the one initiating greetings. Met a pot belly pig on his evening walk and loved the chickens crowing to let's all know they were there. It's New Orleans in her natural beautiful state.
