If you like old world charm and are looking to be a little off the beaten path then this is your place. Located right on St Charles and just a short walk or streetcar ride to many restaurants, shops, and entertainment. I would say we felt safer walking around during the day then at night, but overall felt comfortable being there. We were there for a convention where we spent most of the day either at the Convention Center or the Superdome, but we were able to ride the streetcar to all of our events and come home to what felt "homey". Definitely visit the Avenue Cafe for coffees, juice, bagels or quiches, and Lula Distillery for an amazing dinner.
