It's nothing fancy, but exactly what we expected. I'm familiar with the area and MOST EVERYWHERE is going to feel a bit "sketchy" at night since Katrina. We felt very safe walking around in daylight and it was a few short blocks to the St. Charles Trolley which we used quite a bit to get around and over to the quarter and Audobon area. Magazine street is a short 20-minute walk from Danielle's. It was a great value and Danielle was always helpful and easy to communicate with.
