My friends and I had a wonderful stay in Laurie's Treehouse room when we came to New Orleans over New Years. Laurie was very welcoming and easy to communicate with, and she made us feel at home. The room was clean and comfortable; a little snug with 3 people but would be quite spacious for 2 people, and we were out exploring the city for most of the day anyway so it was not an issue.

Location-wise, the house is in a quiet neighborhood, and about 6 blocks from bus stops or about 10 blocks from the streetcars, so it was fairly easy (although a bit slow) to get around by public transit; it would take about 45-60 min to get to the French Quarter, as an example. Be aware though that buses seem to only run hourly; the streetcars run more frequently, approximately every 10 minutes, but move slower...

Overall I'd recommend Laurie's house to anyone looking for a quiet home-base for their trip to New Orleans!
