The place is a mile away from the heart of the French Quarter. I think that this is a good spot for people who need multiple bedrooms, want to be within walking distance to the Quarter (during the day) and don't want to spend an arm and a leg. It's on a busy street which is good from a safety point of view. While a few of the businesses in the area don't yet give you a "gentrified" feel, there is a supermarket across the street that could be a Trader Joes clone.
