So I live in New Orleans actually and am very familiar with the neighborhood. Its not a bad neighborhood. the neighbors are very kind actually. I can see why an outsider who is not used to the culture and is slightly ignorant might think otherwise. During the weekends this neighborhood is very popular for large social meet ups and drinks at the club up the street. I dont recommend this location if you have small kids. The walls are on the thin side so be respectful but other than that its a good price for location. The house needs a little love but for the price and everything its not bad at all. Its an old home and i think some of these people forget that. I definitely will have another stay-cation here.
