The Lavender House is a wonderful home away from home. I was moving to NOLA from out of state to start a new job and struggling to find an apartment, so I stayed at the Lavender House for a month while I looked in the area for a place to rent. The apartment had everything I needed (including a full kitchen and free laundry!) and is in an amazingly convenient location in Mid City— walking distance to the grocery, great restaurants, and beautiful City Park. Monica is an extremely helpful hostess who was easy to reach and very responsive when I had questions or issues. She was very generous and friendly throughout my time at her home, and also welcomed my parents for my moves in and out. I felt very safe and comfortable. I highly recommend staying at her place! The Lavender House and Monica are real gems.
