This is a very convenient and safe neighborhood. There are many good restaurants close by. The park across the street is pleasant to hang out in. There are also two very good live music venues close by ( Rock n’ Bowl and the Maple Leaf Bar). The street car stop is across the street and takes you straight to Canal Street. We mostly used rideshare services to Jazz Fest and French Quarter area etc. and most rides averaged about $10-13, plus tip. There’s a Walgreens and a supermarket five minutes away on foot. We felt very safe to walk around the neighborhood, even at night. Our host let us keep our luggage at his place for a few hours after we checked out. Yes as the hosts warn, you will hear footsteps back-and-forth in the early morning. Also, as another guest pointed out, the ceilings are low if you’re taller than 5’10/11”, but this cannot be helped. Our host stopped by as we were leaving and we had a lovely conversation.
