I was traveling by myself to visit my kids who are students at Tulane. I needed convenience above all else, and Laurie’s place was perfect for that. The room was clean and comfortable, there was plenty of room to unpack and store my things, the small desk in the room allowed me to plug in my laptop and get a little work done in between running around NOLA with my kids, and the price was certainly right. Laurie also had some great suggestions about places to eat, and she referred me to a great local bike shop (Mike the Bike Guy on Magazine) where I was able to rent a bike to get around town and get a little exercise during my stay. Laurie keeps her house stocked with miscellaneous conveniences for weary travelers (extra toothbrushes and toiletries, fresh towels, etc.) and copious amounts of books, pamphlets, maps, guides and information about all there is to see and do in NOLA. If you are looking for comfort and cleanliness on a budget in a great NOLA neighborhood, then check out Laurie’s place.
