Area around home looks run down, But it is because a lot of development and new renovations going on to bring New Orleans to be a better tour destination. We felt safe and place was better than any hotel with full amenities, we liked where the place is located center to everything. You are 12 minutes away from the French Quarter, WW2 Museum, Riverwalk Mall and 15 minutes from New Orleans city park, Sculpture Garden & Museum of art.
