Lauren is a fantastic host. She's super communicative, her home has thoughtful touches and there's plenty of space for 2 couples. The beds in each room are VERY comfortable, as are the sheets/linens. There's a work in one of them and plenty of closet space in both. The kitchen table is also a place to work as well, if you need to.
The WiFi is great here and works in the whole house as well, so biz travelers, you're in a great spot with great service.
The outdoor courtyard is nice and cozy for chilling out and taking calls. It's private and and intimate with a nice seating area for six people.
Location: Lauren's place is just a few steps north of St. Claude Ave and 5-6 minute walk to Robert Fresh Market, which is essentially full grocery store and liquor store. Sweet Lorraine's Jazz Club is maybe 4 mins door to door. The neighborhood feels way more legit NOLA residential area. It's nice and quiet at night and real folks live there, so it's not all tourists.
You need to check out several of the bars/clubs on St. Claude like the AllWays Lounge, Hi-Ho (which Lauren and her partner suggested), as well as the culinary secret weapon in this area: The Green Room Kukhnya (I can't recommend this place enough).
Overall, you're 10 mins on foot from the R Bar, DBA and the rest of Frenchman. We loved the area and very few folks are better hosts in New Orleans.
