This home is actually beautiful. Decorated nicely and all you need for a nice stay. Owners were nice although didn’t respond to a couple of inquiries until I texted a couple times. While we were on-site were very responsive. Location is the problem. As we were unlocking the gate to get in- there were 7 to 8 shots fired about four houses up from us. My BF is a detective in an urban area and told me it was fireworks, but when the cars peeled out and sped away even I knew he was just trying to keep me calm. After we were behind the gate he told me it was probably a drive by shooting at a house - definitely shots fired. This was at 6pm for reference. I realize the owners can’t control this - I would just disagree that this is a walking neighborhood. Needless to say after that we used lots of Ubers to French quarter and it was only $10 after tip - but when you’re doing that twice a day it adds to your trip. So just factor that cost in. Someone else described the neighborhood as gritty. It’s a bit worse than that. I wish I didn’t have to post this because the house is beautiful - but I wish I’d have known as part of the reason I booked was due to being able to walk. The unit itself is behind a locked gate and we felt safe in the beautiful home - but not the neighborhood .
