My family had a wonderful stay at Joe's place for my Mom's 60th birthday celebration! Just arriving at the apartment got us in the NOLA spirit with the amazing decor (perfectly glamorous and NOLA spooky!). The apartment is really nice, although located in a not-so-nice neighborhood (burned down house across the street). However, we NEVER felt unsafe. The apartment is secure and there is an electronic gate in the back to keep your car secure as well. Aside from the surrounding neighbors, the location is great- very central. Its just 3 blocks away from a CVS and Walgreens for groceries; a hearty walk from the Garden District and Feret Street; and just a short drive from the French Quarter. The first day we had an issue with the showers not getting very hot, but Joe quickly responded and fixed this issue within an hour! Overall, an extremely positive first experience in New Orleans!
