About this property

The Laurel Bed And Breakfast

The Laurel is a one-suite bed and breakfast with private bath, sunroom and private gated entry located in the heart of Mid-City. The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and the Endymion Mardi Gras Parade are both a 10-minute walk away. The French Quarter and Central Business District are just a 10-minute drive away. There is a bus stop and the street car line within walking distance (5 minutes) which runs to both of these destinations. It is in a residential neighborhood and is only a 5-minute walk to City Park and The New Orleans Museum of Art.

There are two cats who reside at the Laurel, Billy & Koshka (from Russia!).

We offer a continental breakfast of croissants, muffins, assorted pastries, orange juice, coffee/tea. Special requests for non-cooked items are welcomed (yogurt, cereal, etc).

The guest area has a mini refrigerator with ice trays/freezer, dishes, utensils, coffee maker & cups. A microwave oven is also in the guest area. Ground coffee and condiments are provided.

Guests use the private entrance, which brings them directly into the sunroom portion of the guest suite.

Our rate is based on single & double occupancy. There is no discount for single occupancy or waiving breakfast. There is an additional charge of $30/person per night for more than 2 persons. The double size sleeper sofa in the sunroom is available for guest #3 & #4.

We do not allow smoking, candles, oil lamps, incense or any other flammable items in the house or on any of the porches.

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. The corner lot offers a beautiful view of the peaceful surroundings of the neighborhood.

Guests can enjoy City Park's Museum of Art, botanical gardens and new walking park.

Laura and Eliot Kamenitz have owned and resided in their home since May 1995. They are the fifth and current owners of this 1924 raised cottage-style house. Laura is a retired Chemical Engineer and Eliot is a retired professional Photographer.

Excellent!
We arrived and Laura had everything ready for us, a great breakfast of warm muffins and croissants, yogurt, juice, and coffee. The house is super cute and the area we had was perfect. We had our own entrance so as not to bother anyone else. We had an issue with our check out days plans and she was very accommodating! If we are in town again we will for sure stay here.

October Wedding Trip
Our stay at the Laurel Bed and Breakfast was wonderful. From the moment we arrived, Laura was a kind and lovely host. Despite our late arrival, she stayed up to greet us, ensuring we were comfortable and familiar with the space — she gave us a tour and a helpful list of neighborhood spots. Throughout our stay, Laura struck the perfect balance of being available to answer questions while giving us plenty of privacy to enjoy our time. The accommodations were spacious and comfortable for two people — you have plenty of room to lounge, rest and get ready. The only minor suggestion we would make is a potential upgrade of the pillows for an even more restful night’s sleep. This isn’t a deal breaker however and everything else was truly fabulous, and we would happily stay here again! Thank you, Laura, for a wonderful visit! We’ll definitely be keeping this on our list for future trips to New Orleans.

Good Times
We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay! Our host was very accommodating. We enjoyed our conversations with Laura, our hostess. She was very interesting and informative. She offered some good suggestions on restaurants in the area. We really liked the Sante Fe restaurant. The food was excellent, very fresh. The location of the property was perfect. Many facilities are in walking distance, including the city park which we visited several times. In addition we found the street car transportation to be conveniently located. We used it to go to the French Quarter which is just a few miles away. We liked staying in a quiet neighborhood which this location provided. It will definitely be our go to if and when we visit the Big Easy again!!

Comfortable Stay at the Laurel
Quiet neighborhood for a restful night’s sleep. Friendly host who offered suggestions of things to do. Was nice to have breakfast served each morning - pressed coffee, juice, pastries, yogurt and bananas. TV had lots of stations so we could watch NCAA tournament. Don’t miss the sculpture garden at City Park nearby.

An Easy Stay for a Stay in the Big Easy
Laura was a tremendous and gracious host during our stay in New Orleans. The location, the home and our accommodations exceeded our expectations – as did Laura who shared her knowledge, experience and recommendations for the type of “off the beaten path” experiences we hoped to enjoy. City Park and all it offers – incredible grounds, NOMA, the outdoor sculpture garden and more are a short, easy and safe 5–10-minute walk from the home. Getting to and from downtown (The French Quarter, Jackson Square and more) was just as easy for us via the Streetcar and bus services, so there was no need to fight for or overpay for a parking spot. All in all, we had a wonderful time, and it was made even more so by Laura. We not only hope to stay with her again, but highly recommend Laura and her home to anyone considering a trip to New Orleans.

Exactly what we needed
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.
