Lauren's place is great! the location is awesome if you are going to the french quarter, and there are a lot of restaurant options around. We had a bit of a hike to get to the convention center, but we really enjoyed the location nevertheless. We knew it wouldn't be right next door to where we were going anyways, and having a place to stay where at night you can enjoy the vibrant NOLA life, is awesome! At the same time, Lauren's place is really quiet, so while you are very close to all the action, there is no crazy noise or anything around the apartment.
