If you're wanting more of a local experience this is a cozy location. Our grouped walked to most of the restaurants in the neighborhood. We highly recommend the Ruby Slipper! When we ventured out to Bourbon it was an easy 10-15 minute walk. We all walked home from the strip early in the morning and felt comfortable. The streets to the house were very well lite and had a decent amount of traffic. Having been to NOLA several times I would recommend this location since it's not in the middle of the party scene, but still a comfortable walking distance.
