As others had said, the neighborhood is definitely lower income, but nothing bad happened and if you are even remotely street smart you shouldn't have any issues. Just be extra safe after dark.
Traffic throughout New Orleans can be crazy so even though we weren't that far away from downtown and FrenchQuarter, it could take longer than estimated. There are stores conveniently nearby and the Poboy shop across the street was good!
Beds weren't too bad. We had 6 people and made due with the single bathroom. The shower hot/cold could be tricky (a couple people thought we didn't have hot water at first) but we figured it out.
Overall we had a good stay and appreciated the early check in (for a small price). We did have a small problem with one of the bedroom doors not latching, and the bathroom door shut loudly, but otherwise was a nice old shotgun style house that shows its age but is still charming and comfortable.
