Upon initial view of the neighborhood, I was skeptical of the safety of the residence. However, the surrounding community turned out to be vibrant and full of young people, families, and students celebrating Mardis Gras, making my group feel much better about staying there. Also, the gated residence adds an extra element of safety, as no one can walk right up to the door.
The location right between the French Quarter and Tulane is unbeatable. It is a 30 min walk to Tulane, and a 10 min Uber trip to the Quarter. Perfect for my trip itinerary. There are not too many shops/grocery stores/ food places closeby, so keep that in mind. We had a car and were able to easily find parking on the street near us, but not so much as you approach St Charles Ave.
The host was super attentive and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend. Very clean residence, and more spacious than the photos give it credit for.
