We loved this place for our 2 nights in New Orleans. Very walkable area to a lot of hole in the wall local spots and we felt very safe walking around, even at night. You can even walk to the FQ if that's your thing, but we loved Marigny/Bywater and spent almost all our time there. We had a car, and were able to park on the street right in front of the house every time we came back. The neighborhood was surprisingly quiet, which made it possible to hear the neighbors in the other half of this shotgun house, but nothing a little white noise couldn't drown out (the host also has ear plugs available). Would definitely stay here again on a return trip.
