Up in Nola's room (5)
I believe the answer is:
salon
'room' is the definition.
(salon is a kind of room)
'up in nola's' is the wordplay.
'nola's' anagrams to 'SALON'.
Though, I am not sure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for salon that I've seen before include "Beauty parlour" , "Gallery for works of art -- loans (anag)" , "Elegant room is great house for entertaining" , "Literary gathering" , "social event" .)
