Matthew's place truly was an oasis and was in a great location for most activities. It is a bit of a walk to the french quarter, but it works out when you are eating so much good food and it's really a short ride to most other places. Lots of Ubers and Lyfts all times of the day and night. I probably wouldn't walk there at night, but never felt unsafe.
The house has been very well done to be quite comfortable and convenient. Good for a couple or small family. We had a teen with us and the loft was great for him.
