This was a lovely stay. I was a single female traveler for an event happening at the convention center and it was in great proximity. Literally 5 blocks as posting says. The area did have some homeless tents across the street, and under the rest of the highway so I was very mindful of that during my walks. I got a lot of feedback from others that NOLA can be unsafe for evening walks, especially for a single traveler but I never had any issues. Super aware of surroundings. The apartment was roomy and the bed was very comfortable. I normally sleep with a sound machine so the highway noise never bothered me. My last morning I ventured under the bridge on magazine and found a lovely coffee shop and some lovely homes to look at before heading back home. This location is about a mile from bourbon street (walkable!) So be ready for your walking shoes. I love walking so it was never an issue/hassle at all.
