We had a great time! Niki's home is close to several buses that take you wherever you want to go, and it's just 6 or 7 minutes to the historic Canal St streetcar. I highly recommend the public transportation Le Pass app. Her street was slightly torn up, with empty storefronts nearby, so the neighborhood felt somewhat uninviting, but we never felt unsafe. We would definitely stay at Niki's again when in New Orleans!
