The space is one half of a double shotgun home. Being a licensed builder I enjoyed seeing how they renovated the space. Other reviews noted a bar close by which was open one day that we stayed but could see how it could get loud. I think a guest worried about noise has to really consider that the better the location the higher the likelihood of more noise, so has to prioritize which one they want more. The location is off a busy road which is a little loud in living room but did not affect a good nights sleep and is roughly .4-1.1 miles away from basically everything in French Quarter you would want to see or do. If you are used to walking alot it would have been decent walking distance but with kids we drove mostly. The host provides a detailed check in guide and was very responsive.
