Laurie is a simply incredible host. After our previous reservation at another place was suddenly cancelled, she was very helpful with all the new, short-term arrangements.
Though she was sick the first days, Laurie always cared about us and gave us the feeling of being part of the family in a way that you cannot expect to experience. She really is a fun person, open-minded and we loved the good conversations with her.
The house is amazing, has everything you need and it never gets boring with Ajax and Woody. They are adorable and not to forget Bayou, the cat.
It's located in Uptown, a couple of blocks to buses and the St Charles streetcar in a quiet neighbourhood, close to some quite good restaurants.

New Orleans is an amazing place, whether you want to visit the swamps around, the French Quarter, see sports (Saints, Hornets/Pelicans) or just listen to jazz, which you can do all day long.
We stayed during Superbowl and Mardi Gras and especially Mardi Gras is awesome!! The parades, the music, the vibe - you can't describe it properly. You have to see for yourself.

Two amazing weeks have passed by too quickly, but we'll definitely come back, visiting NOLA and Laurie.

I highly recommend staying at Laurie's place!

Thanks again for everything, Laurie! It's been amazing!
