This place was just amazing - I loved the cottage and the neighborhood! It's an easy 20 min walk to the French quarter... I got a ride home any time I was out late just to be on the safe side but I never felt uncomfortable walking around on my own. It's also about a 20 minute walk from a Whole Foods so I was able to stock up on groceries for the week.
I stayed for a week, worked during the day and caught great music every night. Kermit's Treme MIL lounge is just up the street and is a great place to spend a Sunday night! I heard that there's usually a secondline under the overpass earlier on Sundays, but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to see one of those.
Some of the other reviews mentioned traffic noise - there was a little bit but nothing particularly intrusive - it didn't cause me any problems sleeping at all. No worse than staying in any other city (or probably any other part of NOLA!).
The cottage itself was just stunning - even better than it looks in the gorgeous pictures!!! Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
