The neighborhood was a safe residential area with lots of unique shops and restaurants nearby. Great area to walk and bike through (w/ the included bikes!!!) but it is a bit far out from the French Quarter so you will most likely require wheels to get there (8 minute/$7 Uber ride or 15 minute bike ride) . Bob was very accommodating, easy to reach, and gave great suggestions for what to do each day. However, we had some issues with the cleanliness of the place. Specifically, there were quite a few of small flying bugs in the studio (some in the refrigerator) and the toilet and shower were filthy and were definitely not cleaned prior to our arrival. Overall, we had a good time we just wished the studio was cleaner!
