Truedell was awesome and very nice. The apartment is emaculate and very stylishly furnished. It's a reasonable walking distance from the Quarter....about a mile or so. If u plan on walking (which I recommend cuz parking is a nightmare) make sure to wear walking shoes. I wore sandals the first day and regretted it. The neighborhood is in the historic district and is also called the 8th ward. I didn't get the greatest impression of the neighborhood when we drove up and saw a cop at the door asking for info about a car that had the tires stolen off it right across the street. It isn't a bad neighborhood but there are a lot of questionable ppl walking around the area. No one bothered us until we were in the Quarter and then we got approached by a lot of beggars. Just be aware of your surroundings. I would definitely stay there again if we go back.
