Going through the neighborhood for the first time gives you the feeling gives you a feeling of not being safe, and you hear so from Uber drivers and Lyft drivers (We did)
But then, another Uber driver said she lived there for 6 months and it's definitely not as bad as it looks, the neighbors were very nice and she still visit them, and the neighborhood may not be the best place in town but it is definitely not the worst.
I myself felt safe and had no troubles what soever. I enjoyed my stay with Alexandra, I like how very responsive she was, and the sparkling clean apartment. I also like how close the place was to all the fun (French quarter and bourbon street.
I would definitely stay again.
