This place is in a safe neighborhood. It is far enough from the loud French Quarter but close enough to other shops and restaurants. You can scooter anywhere within pretty much 15 minutes. The unit is on the first floor and you may hear other tenants behind you and above you. The A/C and heater is a bit loud but did not bother us too much when we were sleeping. The place is exactly as seen in the photos. The exterior is unassuming and we felt safe here during the week and through new year's eve. Tammy is very responsive and check in and out was very smooth! I recommend this place if you do not mind a little bit of noise!
