Don't be turned off by the neighborhood- it is old but very safe. It is a short walk to the streetcar ( only $1.25 or $3 a day unlimited) and a $6-7 Lyft ride to the action. It was cool to live like a local. Much better than staying at a hotel. We ate outside on the porch, and people walking by said hi to us. It was insanely hot, but the window unit ACs were kicking! Very good location. 5 minutes from Parkway Bakery ( some of the best po'boys in NOLA!) Good deal if you need a place to crash and shower. Oh- the bed was super comfortable!!!
