We stayed at Dana’s place for a week while visiting New Orleans. The location was conveniently located, as it was just under two miles from the French Quarter, Canal Street, and other popular destinations. Although the neighborhood was not higher end, we never felt unsafe. I would just recommend taking Ubers/Taxis vs walking.
The place itself was modern and tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable and having a washer and dryer was a nice touch.
My only complaint is the noise. The Airbnb shares a common wall with the unit next door (which I believe Dana owns and rents on Airbnb as well). The wall might as well be non existent as you can hear every little thing from them talking, to simply walking.
Unfortunately we had rather active neighbors (Coming in at 4am) which caused some sleepless nights. At one point we actually had to have a conversation with them through the wall, asking them to try to be quieter. Even with earplugs you could still hear them clearly.
Overall, the stay was decent. If you are not bothered by noise, the place is cute, clean, and close to everything.
