My stay in the Purple room was amazing. The room is so cozy (and so is the bed....felt great especially during those rainy days!) and tastefully decorated. The neighborhood is great and safe too. Laurie is an amazing host. She is so friendly, so accommodating and very helpful. I greatly enjoyed our conversations ( she is very knowledgeable, and i learned so much from her about NOLA and its history). It was my first experience with airbnb, and i loved it! It didn't feel like i was staying at a hotel ( which is what it should be), yet Laurie also gives you your own space. She even took me shopping (since I needed stuff for my new apartment in New Orleans) and I had my first po-boy with her! She also gave me great tips on places to avoid (not so safe) and on what fun things to do during my year here. If you want to truly experience southern hospitality at its best, this is it! And if you just want a nice and cozy place to stay, this is it too! Thanks Laurie and see you around!
