Nicely updated inside. The city street noise outside the front door really did not bother us (actually the "white noise" helped us to sleep!). Considering the big city neighborhood, it will be more comfortable to arrive during the day or early evening. Whole food market and the street car are just a couple of blocks walking away, which is real nice. Though a Lyft to french quarter was only $10 and less than 10 minutes drive away.
