Clean and comfortable. Lots of character. Unique views. Some beat up surroundings and sketchy characters mixed with nice places and cool characters.... Hey! Welcome to New Orleans. Once you navigate a route under the overpass, just a couple of blocks walking, you're in the beautiful central business district. A short walk in the other direction, you're in the garden district. Another mile or so (but doesn't feel like it) , you're in the French quarter. Easy and cheap Ubers and streetcar as well. Great food market a block or two away and really nice BBQ eats across the street. If you want to step outside your door right into the action, this wouldn't be my first choice. If you want a great vacation hub, centrally located, I recommend Andys place.
