They were so accommodating! We arrived way earlier than the check in time and they let us leave our things in their house when we explored the city. The place was very clean. The location itself is a bit sketchy but I think you will be okay if you travel in a large group when going out at night. The french quarter was just a few bus stops away. You can also walk there if you’re up for it, probably will take you about 20-30 minutes. We had a really great time there!
