We very much enjoyed our stay at Melissa’s place. It is an older house and the exterior is a little worn, but the interior is clean and very comfortable. The beds were a dream to sleep on. Even if you bring your own vehicle I recommend Uber or Lyft to get to and from the French Quarter, as the cost for the paid parking lots in the area are steep and add up quickly (you could easily pay $60 to park for a few hours vs. $20 for an Uber). The neighborhood is quiet and felt reasonably safe. We would stay there again for sure.
