I had a great time staying in the Purple Room. Laurie was incredibly hospitable, very easy to get along with and made every effort to ensure I enjoyed my stay. She also was a fountain of knowledge on all things New Orleans so I was able to pick her brains on places to go/things to see etc. I also got the chance to meet her two sons, who were also really friendly. The house itself is lovely, and in a very safe neighbourhood, with some great places at walking distance. This was my first Airbnb experience in a shared room and I certainly have no complaints whatsoever.
