You do need to cross a four lane busy street, so if walking quickly is a problem I would take an Uber. Seemed like a safe neighborhood, as we have stayed in the French Quarter a few times. We saw many other people walking to and from their places during the day and at night. Not late, late, night. I never felt unsafe.
There is a coffee shop down the block. Good spot because there is no coffee maker or microwave in the room. It was always busy.
The room is very clean and very bright. There is a school across the street however they were on vacation the week we visited so noise and parking was a non issue. The address is also very close to interstate 10 so it is easy on and easy off to get anywhere. We never worried about leaving the car.
Bring plenty of water and cups as New Orleans gets very hot. There is a fridge in the closet and we also left a cooler.
We were able to meet the cats as we sat on the steps on day having cocktails. Very, very friendly. We did not ever meet the host but she was always responsive to my texts or emails.
