Lauren is such a wonderful host! She also knows NOLA, and can recommend where to eat, what to do, and all the happenings around town; just ask! You'll also find maps, brochures and guides that she's thoughtfully placed around the apartment which we found SO helpful. Her place is in a great part of the Garden District with so many places to explore and eat. We ended up spending most of our time just hanging around the neighborhood and still didn't fit it all in! We definitely had a wonderful experience staying with Lauren, and will absolutely stay with her again the next time we travel to NOLA.
