Laurie hosted my family on a visit to Tulane. From the first contact through airbnb, to a recent contact when we realized we had left something in the room, Laurie was a wonderful host. She offered to collect us from the airport, and sent us local travel ideas even before we left home. The room was very comfortable, and being able to share her wonderful dogs and cat was a treat. Many stories of politics, the world, how to bring up teenagers and life in general were shared, and three days was not enough in this amazing city. Thanks Laurie, for giving our daughter such a great taste of New Orleans. When we return to New Orleans, you will be the first person we contact.
