Laurie made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived with her genuine hospitality. She gave us a tour of her house, which was super charming, and answered any questions we had about it. We stayed in the yellow room which was clean and comfortable. She left a book of FAQ which was helpful. She also left map of nola and pamplets on things to do. She is also full of good, local suggestion to eat and what to, which made our stay memorable. Laurie is also great for converstion! Uptown is a prime location and is walking distance to great resturants. It is also short drive to magazine street, and only fifteen minutes to the French quarter by car. The street she lives on is composed of beautiful live oaks and lovely houses. We felt very safe in lauries neighbor and even walked at night!! This was our first bnb experience and it was perfect. We would recommend! Five out of five stars.
