Zana was incredibly helpful before our visit, during our visit, and after our visit. I can't say enough about her as a host. The place is great-- everything that you need for a NOLA stay as well as convenient to everything from Frenchmen Street to Bourbon. It is definitely in a neighborhood that is being revitalized, but I never felt unsafe. Everyday throughout our trip there were neighborhood kids outside playing basketball and walking the street. Be mindful that it is a busy, commuted street, so there is noise at night. And just like with all shotgun style homes, you can hear the neighbors. Unless you're a super light sleeper, it shouldn't be a problem.
