location had bus routes directly outside of building and could walk to french quarter in 9 minutes. some nice restaurant within blocks from room. building had a games room with pool table and other games that were coin operated. small snack machine in entry too. could see that neighborhood was probably not the nicest area but signs of people fixing up area and nearby buildings and may soon be a real nice place but the public library that we could see from window had bums in entryway and being close to the hospital made for lots of noise at night. felt safe enough walking around with my husband, just don’t know if i would feel same if i was alone. overall the room was nice location for getting around, would have liked a few more items in the unit, like dish towels in the kitchen, extra blankets in both bedrooms, or a guest book with suggestions of local attractions and maps. overall stay was nice and comfortable and centrally located.
