This place is basically as described. It's low frills and, as others have mentioned, is close to the highway. Ear plugs helped, though. I brought my own, but every room had a stash provided by the host. This place was much closer to bourbon street than I was expecting, which was a good thing. It was an easy walk. There's gated parking. We felt safe the entire time. I wasn't thrilled, however, with the bed in the master bedroom. I like firmer mattresses and the springs in this one didn't offer much support. All in all, you get decent accommodations at a fair price.
