Went down to NOLA for my bachelor party recently, and the house was better than I could have imagined. The space is beautiful, along with the decor. There is a nice sized balcony in front where we hung out before going out for the night, and also a nice green space on the side of the house. The host is very responsive!
The walk to the French Quarter/Frenchman Street is very fast (10-15 min to bourbon street, tops), and ubers were very easy to get and much faster. Some part of the surrounding neighborhood is transitioning, but we never felt unsafe. While we usually traveled in groups, I had friends who walked to and from alone in the day and night and were completely fine.
Again, very highly recommend!
