Had a great stay in the flat for a week during halloween. The place was affordable but still allowed for working from the apartment, and that is why we picked it.
We could work from the little desk, and the internet was fast and stable. There was no coffee maker, but a small supermarket for $2 mud coffee and a nice little cafe for espresso based things.
As other review mentions there is a lot of noise from the nearby highway. It was not a problem for calls, but we had to wear earplugs at night.
The neighbourhood is like most in New Orleans outside of the most posh areas, beautiful and a lot of fun, but you need to have some situational awareness as well.
