My husband and I stayed at Lauren's place for a week while I attended a conference in NOLA. The location was unbeatable, right along St. Charles streetcar line. The house was very clean. It's an historic house, so you can expect some creaky floor boards, but I think that really added to the charm of the place. The bar next door was loud and active every night we were there. However, Lauren provided ear plugs and the bed was so comfy we slept really well throughout our stay. We're not light sleepers - some who are might have some difficulty. But honestly, it's New Orleans! It is not a quiet city. If you want 24/7 peace and quiet, this isn't your town. I suggest you come ready to embrace the unique liveliness of the city!
I would definitely stay at Lauren's place again when I go back to New Orleans.
