There is plenty of on-street parking and off-street parking is available upon request. The home is a beautiful 2-story stucco structure with a red Spanish tile roof. It is architecturally unique and interesting with its arched doorways and doors. The original structure is intact with very few changes to the original design. There are original wood floors and ceramic tiles which have been beautifully restored. The long center hallway serves as the perfect photo gallery for Eliot's photos. The raised front porch and the front courtyard-style patio is wonderful and a great place to just sit and do nothing.

We went to NOLA to see a musician that I love. My wife found this VRBO spot. It was not in the French Quarter, so it was quiet and away from the crowds...but only about 10 minutes from the Quarter. There are a lot of cool restaurants and clubs near by. Walking distance to the streetcar line. The proprietors were very nice and talked to us during breakfast. It's not a full on hot breakfast, but it is fresh pressed coffee and we had fresh croissant and muffins from a local bakery. It was nice. We had a private entrance to use to the house. If you're looking for a nice place to stay, away from the tourists, I would highly recommend the Laurel.

Laura and Elliot are the best hosts imaginable. They make you feel like family and go out of their way to make sure your stay in New Orleans is memorable. Their home has amazing character and style and the neighborhood is beautiful with breathtaking trees. All the neighbors are so friendly as well. Both Rod and I's favorite thing, for our first time in New Orleans, was staying at their bed and breakfast. And lets not forget their adorable fur babies.

This was our first time in New Orleans! Laura was a great host! Not only was she very knowledgeable in guiding you towards your goals while visiting but also made great recommendations. Her home is very comfy and made us feel at ease. We enjoyed our time and plan on returning in the future in part because of the hospitality that Laura showed us. Also, her home is very close to the transportation routes and a couple of nice places to eat all in walking distance. We can’t thank Laura enough. Victor and Lori Hagerman

The check in process was easy. Laura had great communication. The place was beautiful she made sure we had everything we needed along with suggestions for things to see places to visit and food recommendations. The location is perfect right near everything. One morning we walked to the botanical garden and cafe du monde it was stunning. We rented a car to make it simpler to get to the inner city but it would be about a 20-25 min walk to bourbon street. Laura really made sure we were comfortable and made us feel right at home.

Laura was an excellent host! This was my first time staying at a B&B. I was nervous about it because I am sort of a germaphobe, but Laura really made this an awesome experience! We had our own super clean area with a bathroom and a sitting area. In there was a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. I will always remember this trip!

We had a wonderful stay during our Final Four visit to New Orleans. Laura and the property were better than described. The location is within walking distance to the Trolley and Bus Line. This is a big bonus for anyone attending a large event at the Super Dome or the French Quarter. Walk to the trolley, get on, go to your event and reverse. All for the wonderful price of $3/person. The neighborhood felt safe as we returned several evenings between midnight and 1AM. The continental breakfast was excellent with Laura inquiring about any dietary restrictions/needs. The bed was comfortable, the water was hot. The attached sitting room was nice. The property is welcoming with your own private entrance as described. I highly recommend.

The room was fully stocked with everything you need and is in perfect location to the city park as well as the streetcar line. Easily accessible to all parts of the city, we actually enjoyed being in a quiet neighborhood for the evenings. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!
