New Orleans is now my favorite city in the world and a lot of it is because I stayed at Laurie's wonderful house and Laurie herself. During my stay, I fell ill overnight and Laurie made sure I had the right medicines and food and even offered to cook for me. I will forever be grateful for that. This person is honestly a very genuine, caring, friendly and interesting person.
The house itself is a 15 minutes walk from St Charles avenue and 30 minutes from Magazine street. I mostly used Uber to travel to the French district (approx $25 each ride). 3-5 minute wait time only. Everything in the house is so carefully selected that you really have to marvel at the host's attention to detail. (Even the wall hooks were very dainty)! I stayed in the Purple room which was very comfortable and had a wonderful collection of Fantasy books (my favorite genre). But there were also guide books for events and travel within NOLA.
Laurie knows the city really well and gives very good recommendations for travel within NOLA. Safe places and times to go etc. Don't hesitate to ask her! I recommend this place with my whole heart and I wish Laurie the best. <3
