Great location and value. The French Quarter is a straight shot down St. Philip street a few blocks. Depending on where you're hoping to go it may take 8-15 minutes of a walk. I recommend walking during the day/evening, uber/lyfting at night. People in the neighborhood are relatively friendly. At night it's recommended to be in groups or ride. Bourbon St is about 12-15 minute walk, however, go to Frenchmen St. It's much better.
House is very open and large, very high ceilings, nice small back porch. TVs everywhere, even in the laundry room which was interesting to see. Though we didn't watch any TV at all given we were in NOLA. Plenty of space for 6 people, we even had 10 people in for one night and everyone had a bed or a couch to sleep on.
Russell checked in a few times asking how things were going. If something wasn't right he was in the area to fix it.
Overall, you can't beat the price & location. New Orleans is a big community and has a homeless population. You see some along your route to the French Quarter on St. Philip street. However, this is something you'll probably see regardless of where you stay in the city in my opinion. Just something to keep in mind.
