Laurie was extremely accommodating and explained everything when we got there. I loved her small touches and how her home really felt like NOLA! The neighborhood is gorgeous and small, so it's perfect to get away from the bustle of the city at night. She has tons of travel guides, and you can tell she cares about her guests from the first messages. I particularly enjoyed how close we were to everything but just far away enough to see a little bit of the real New Orleans. Anyone staying with Laurie is lucky!
