The place was great for our purposes-- just a couple of friends exploring the french quarter over a long weekend. The surrounding neighborhood has seen better days, but some of the reviews complaining about safety seem a bit overblown. That being said the front door NEEDS to be addressed. the locks are barely holding together, and fixing it would go a long way to addressing any safety issues. The only other complaint I really have is that we had issues with the washing machine, so I wouldn't count on using it if you book here.
Otherwise, I'd just praise this place for the value. It's a humble shotgun house that serves as a great home base for any forrays into the city. Only one bedroom has any real privacy, but that was fine with us. I'd recommend this place to a group of friends who just want to hang out near the french quarter.
