Larraine's place is the perfect spot to stay in New Orleans! Her block is calm and tranquil, and right by the water! There's also a biking/jogging path if that's your thing. The apartment is clean and cheerful, with a fridge and coffee maker, as well as a laundry room. Both bedrooms were spacious and bright, and very comfortable. I didn't get to meet Larraine, but she did let me know some local tips and directions beforehand over the phone. Her friend who let us in was very helpful and welcoming, and greeted us with beer and snacks. I'd definitely recommend Larraine's place, as long as you have a car or some other way to get around, as it's a short drive from the center of things in NOLA. We were in town for a wedding and didn't spend a ton of time in the house, but we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, and if we did spend more time at home, I wouldn't have minded it.
