I give the house itself 5 stars - it looked great inside, clean, trendy and was awesome for 3 couples. That said, I'm giving 4 stars because I was a little surprised by the area. Some reviews said "up and coming," which I maybe read a little too optimistically. The walkability to the French Quarter is what sold us on this house. But I'd be remiss not to mention here that (at least for us) the walk was through some iffy blocks and an underpass homeless camp. After getting there, we didn't feel confident enough walking somewhere for groceries so we ended up paying more than expected on food/drinks being delivered to the house (so I recommend thinking ahead for that! Grab what you can on your way to the house.) I felt okay walking in a group of 6, but wanted to mention this in case you're planning to stay/walk around with a smaller group or alone. Overall nice house, but I'd plan ahead better (ride-money-wise, food-wise) before staying in this area again.
