Algiers is definitely worth staying in, especially if you’re visiting the area for the first time. Walkable and felt safe.
The place is very cozy and Ginger was responsive to any questions we had. Algiers is a nice neighborhood with several great places to eat and drink. It’s perfect if you’re driving or the ferry is running. It did shut down due to the weather for a few hours one day. We opted to take a Rideshare downtown, which was reasonably priced.
Groceries are limited, although I heard that might be changing. Faubourg Fresh is nice little corner store but a little spendy. We weren’t too impressed with the other options we found in walking distance. Might want to bring a few staples with you.
