If you're not familiar with New Orleans, you might be put off by the neighborhood, but it's a safe, quiet area. I brought my small dog and walked the area multiple times per day, all hours of the day and night. All the neighbors said hello, I never felt unsafe, and it's just a few blocks from the street car line. You can park your car right in front of the house. If you're looking for a quiet place to sleep after spending the day exploring the city, this is it.
