Stayed for 5 nights while attending a business conference. Very comfortable quaint apartment, very much as shown in the pictures. Quiet and cool at night for a restful sleep. Peaceful backyard for morning coffee in the company of contented hens clucking -- as long as you share your morning fruit with them! Best surprise, a working turntable with an eclectic stock of LPs for after dinner listening.
This is an old neighborhood in transition, but I (solo female in 60s) never felt unsafe walking about, even in evenings, as folks are so friendly and main streets are well-lighted. In addition to walking, I used the Big Blue Bikes to get around. This area of NO seems very bike-compatible and is well-centered with options for food and entertainment within 1 to 2 miles in any direction. But don't miss the good food/entertainment just blocks from the apartment: Casa Borrega, fun lively neighborhood place with -local music on weekends, and Roux Carre, a kitchen incubator for multiple start-up cafes with just the nicest proprietors and a great chance to meet and share a meal with neighbors. There are 2 slightly spendy but well-stocked grocery stores with in a mile from the apartment.
