Laurie was so kind and friendly! She was great to chat with, and the Bijou the cat was very friendly as well. I could have spent hours looking at all of the artifacts displayed in Laurie's home, and as much time exploring her garden (from which she offered us lemon balm for the journey!). The room was comfortable and clean, and we were close to some great spots to eat (and walking distance to Bearcat Cafe, a lovely and tasty spot I go every time I visit New Orleans) and walk around. We would definitely come back again!
