The apartment was as described. We felt completely safe here. The stairs are steep to the upstairs so if you have mobility issues this place wouldn't be a good choice. The kitchen and bathroom were pretty well stocked with just about everything. The lockbox for the gate key was a little difficult to open. It is very close to the Garden District which was my favorite part of New Orleans and is in walking distance. The closest place to pick up the streetcar is at Washington and St. Charles.
