Really amazing host and superb location (2 blocks from Frenchman's street where the live music scene is). Very safe. Never took an Uber when we walked between here and French Quarter at night. Local hotspots close to Airbnb: Check out Spotted Cat Music Club for authentic jazz. The John is a lovely and super cheap dive bar (think $3 beers half block away from apartment; STRONG highballs). Also would recommend the Elysian Bar (historic bar in a renovated church attached to a hotel; it had the most amazing ambience) and it is 1.5 blocks away from apt. Also Bacchanal Wine in Bywater for outdoor patio with amazing wine and cheeseboards. Mostly locals here as not as well known for tourists. Need to take Uber to Bacchanal because it is about 30 min walk away. Enjoy! Stayed here for 5 nights and would 100% come back.
