The location was perfect for walking into the French quarter. For the reviews on the sketchy neighborhood, I have to assume those people don't spend a lot of time in New orleans because most neighborhoods outside if the quarter look like this one. the roads might be beat upbut we spent a lot of time on the porch, meeting neighbors and hanging out, everyone was super friendly and helpful when we needed it. There is a store right on the corner and several restaurants which made everything very convenient for us to not have to drive all over. The house needs some cosmetic updates but overall it was comfortable ad suited our needs. would stay again
