Great location for a home base in New Orleans: about a 10 minute walk away from the streetcar, surrounded by plenty of fun brunch restaurants and bars, and felt like a safe neighborhood (we had no problems walking around). As other reviewers have mentioned, the owners live on the second story of the duplex—so footsteps and voices from the second story easily are heard downstairs—and do have dogs which are rather yippy at some times (generally around 6am). However, it is an otherwise comfy and safe spot my group thoroughly enjoyed.
