Lauren's place called "The Mistress" is centrally located, spacious, comfortable, and very pretty, just like the picture. The windows in front open up so you can sit on the balcony outside, drink coffee, and watch the world go by. We went in the heat of July and found it to be a cool respite but also well situated with a trolley stop on St. Charles right out front that goes to the French Quarter (not far away) or further into the Garden district in the opposite direction. Lauren left a book called "Eat Dat," an insider's guide to places to eat in New Orleans, which was great to have. Having a washer/dryer was also a blessing!
