We used NOLA as our lodging for an 8 guy bachelor party. The house had plenty of beds and was about 10 minute walk from Bourbon St. There are a variety of other rentals on the street so it felt safe and a few coffee shops around the corners were a huge help in the morning. We communicated via text with the property owner and had no issues getting in or checking out. Overall, a great place for a large group to crash for a few nights.
My only caveat I'd add is don't plan on doing much cooking / eating here. It's not a well stocked kitchen and the beds are where a dinning room table might otherwise be. We knew this going in, but just a heads up for future renters.
