Lauren's place sits about 1 hr from canal st in French quarter via streetcar. You can reach the street car stop by foot - 5 mins or so. There is a Walgreens and other restaurants within walking distance. We walked the streets day and night in that neighborhood and felt safe. The key pad randomly stopped working and Lauren's was responsive and assisted us. Room had a blow dryer (didnt use), only 1 towel per person so 2, 2 small towels, 1 large roll of toilet paper and a small fridge. No microwave which was a bit of a bummer. Overall, great place to stay if you're wanting to sit at the outskirts of the French quarter!
