When you first pull into the neighborhood, it doesn't look like the safest around. However, this is true New Orleans. This condo is more of an older apartment area that has been redone. Your condo is behind a gate and you will be completely safe. The condo was very nice and clean. The beds and furnishings were comfortable. The host was very easy to communicate with and was very quick to answer any questions. It's not a bad walk anywhere, honestly. You can go up to St. Philip and take that all the way to the Market Café. This is a great place for all you can eat breakfast or for poboys in the evening. If you don't want that, just take a right at the café and go about a block to Café Du monde. The neighbors in the house next to the apartment complex had dogs that seemed a little too noisy. However, they did have them inside at a decent hour and that didn't keep any of us awake. Value for the money is good.
