Laurie is a real gem of a hostess. From the moment we set foot in her home, we felt welcome and truly at home. She made our 9 day stay a most delightful experience. She communicated really well, to the point and in a timely fashion. All the information she provided - some even well ahead of our visit - was most accurate and very detailed. Laurie was so considerate to ask us whether we had any dietary restrictions or allergies. We really appreciated her letting us use her kitchen and laundry. We like our nice chats with her very much. Laurie's place reminded me a lot of my former residence while I lived in NOLA some 25 yrs ago and this added in a particular way to my feeling of being at home.
