I did not have the negative experiences others had. I feel a lot of people we ran into didn't realize they were to share the compound's outdoor areas. I feel as if this was listed quite clearly in the listing if you read it. Our home did say 5 "bedrooms" under the breakdown of rooms but the actual listing was 4 bedroom - the 5th listed one was a living room. The area is not unsafe in any way. It's easily within walking distance to a lot of places in a mere 20 min. We got to a grocery store within 10, cafe du monde within 15 and frenchman street bars in under 10. At no point day or night did I feel unsafe walking around the area, but even if you do, the compound is protected by a door with a code. The only complaints I did have were the pool being like a bathtub and the first day we arrived there was a camera crew on site wandering around saying they would "blue our faces"- it was a little weird. Overall I do think it was pricey for what it was, but it was as described and whenever I contacted property management I had immediate responses and prompt service.
