I've been coming to NOLA at least once a year for the last 13 years. It's my home away from home. I am familiar with 90% of it. I have stayed in some unsavory parts. That is just part of being in the city. That said, had I known the exact location of this property, or if the host had been transparent about the level of crime in his area (especially knowing I was traveling alone with three children as young as 4) I would have stayed elsewhere. Upon pulling up to this property, which is directly under a loud overpass we encounted a homelss community with tents directly across the street. They had all kinds of traffic all day and night. The proximity to the FQ is what drew me here. It is a straight shot and short walk. Every time we left the house we noticed cars that had been vandalized and broken into. Each time we arrived back after dark we took an Uber for our safety and unprompted, every single driver warned us of the danger of where we were staying. I wish Barrett had done the same.
