Devon’s place is very cozy and a good location for the main spots of interest in NOLA. He is a great host and makes you feel at home! We had mixed feelings about the city in general in terms of feeling safe and most of our Uber drivers told us not to walk at night (but obvs they’re biased), it was fine for us to do it as Europeans (and we wanted to explore on foot) but I would recommend going on wheels when going home late so keep something in your NOLA budget for transport for the extra peace of mind, this goes for any location in the city in my opinion.
