Lauren was a great host. She met us at the apartment and gave us an overview of the place and the area. She even gave us some detailed recommendations for things to do! The apartment itself was beautiful- the kitchen was small, but New Orleans has great food so eating in would be a sin!

The main room is gorgeous and has a grand old feeling. It is one large room that can be separated by a great set of pocket doors. There is a futon that would probably be ok for a smaller person (i.e., 5'1" me) to sleep on, but would be a stretch for someone of larger proportions or who likes a lot of space. The decorations are funky and a bit offbeat.

This is a great area to stay in, a 10-15 minute walk from the French Quarter and just around the corner from Frenchmen Street, which has cool jazz clubs and street music. All in all, a great value and a great place to stay.
