My husband & I spent 7 nights at Joseph's place in January during one of the coldest New Orleans weeks ever. Despite the cold weather the apartment was warm & cozy and we didn't lose our water pressure. The apartment was very clean and nicely renovated although the windows are very tiny so the rooms are quite dark. The queen size bed was completely comfortable and there were lots of towels & blankets supplied. Kitchen also had everything we needed although we mostly ate in restaurants. The neighbourhood felt safe and neighbours were friendly. We walked around at night and never felt nervous for any reason. There are several delicious restaurants within walking distance for breakfasts and dinners. Ten minutes in an Uber gets you to the French Quarter and we even walked the whole distance a few times which took about 45 minutes at a fast pace. One drawback is that the apartment is not at all soundproof. Generally the neighbourhood is quiet but there are train tracks very close by and trains go past with whistles blowing several times a day. We did hear trains pass on occasion at night but no whistles. Also, even standard level conversations can be clearly heard through the walls from the apartments next door and downstairs. None of this bothered us at all because we didn't hear anything at night, only during the day when we weren't trying to sleep anyway.
I would certainly recommend Joseph's apartment and the surrounding neighbourhood as a great place to stay for people who want to be fairly close to the excitement of New Orleans nightlife but want a calm, quiet place to come home to at the end of the evening.
