The neighborhood was a little rough around the edges, but from where I am from I am used to it. For those who are a little weary of up-and-coming neighborhoods, this is not the place for you. With that being said, we never felt unsafe and nothing dangerous happened to us during our stay! Another thing is there are roosters next door that roam up and down the streets and woke us up really early the first morning! I guess we got used to them because we slept through the next few mornings. Anyway, Hutch's place is really nice with modern furniture and decor. There was a bunch of books about the history of NOLA and a few brochures on restaurants and local activities. Literally everything you may need there! Shampoo, conditioner, soap, cleaning products, cotton swabs, and tons of toilet paper (just to name a few)! Check in and out is easy and Hutch was super friendly via messages. Loved this place so much and I had such a great experience in New Orleans largely because of Hutch and his wonderful home! :)
