The house & host were great. Lisa was accommodating & the home was as described.
The neighborhood was not comfortable.
We have stayed in multiple locations (6) around new orleans. We are aware of the city's rough edges & it has never changed our love of the city.
This home is 4 doors down from a very large complex of abandoned buildings where a lot of homeless congregate/live.
Our 1st morning there was an overdose death in the street.
There was frequently people in backpacks parking in the neighborhood and walking to the buildings, then leaving shortly after. The "neighborhood bar" is 3 doors down and we never saw anyone over 25 yrs old and it was not a place any of us wanted to be in.
I hesitated writing this review because I dont like leaving anything negative on a house & host that were great.
But the information on the abandoned naval base was not disclosed. it was a negative surprise.
It made us uncomfortable and, at times, unsafe.
