This place is a steal! It absolutely is as advertised and as the reviews depict. If you have no issues walking, proximity to everything French Qtr. is a non-issue. Yes, this place is located near(ish) to lesser desirable areas. However, the sidewalks are well lit and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. I never felt unsafe. Uber operates on every corner so if you've found yourself having wandered too far or indulged too heavily, you can return home in 5-10min. for $5-$10. Storyville has definite curb appeal compared to nearby places. The balcony is accessible 24/7. Pretty cool. Amenities are adequate and up-to-date. Toiletries (soaps, swabs, towels, etc.) provided. Oh & did I mention the courtyard? Too cool. Awesome area to wind down from the days noise. It's an INN type setup with 9-10 rooms so there are people in & out frequently. That said, we were not disturbed once (3rd floor) and we met some pretty cool folks. I will most definitely be staying there again. It was just too easy.
