the location is great, close enough to walk to the French quarter and bourbon street in about 25 minutes. it's a pretty safe area, mostly residential around and the National WWII museum basically across the street. would absolutely recommend this to others and would stay here again. the noise from the highway didn't bother us much but you are essentially underneath an overpass so you should expect some noise. right next door to a pizza place and a few houses down from a little bar. can't beat it for the price
