Laurie's is a most welcoming house and the room is great, coming with it's own private bathroom. The bed is really comfortable and wonderfully idiosyncratically decorated, complete with Mardi Gras headdress. Laurie provides all the basics (coffee, bread etc) you would want. She is a mine of great information about where to find the 'real' New Orleans, a city she is really proud of and passionate about. I really felt like I was visiting a friend rather than being an Airbnb guest. When I go back to NOLA I will definitely stay again, although I am worried that with all the great reviews she must be getting she may be booked up a long time in advance!
Thoroughly recommended.
