I was a little concerned reading some of the reviews, but relied on my existing knowledge of the area and booked anyway. I am so glad that I did! This location is my favorite because of the better food and proximity to the French Quarter. It is not the fancy side of town. These are historical homes (like probably built before your grandma was born) in a part of town meant for working class of the time. This house is consistent with those expectations. The entire place is a small comfortable place with plenty of seating and sleeping options. I did not feel uncomfortable at all, but did remain aware of my surroundings and alert as I would in any inner city anywhere in the world. I brought my dogs and was outside with them in the late night/ early morning hours, did not have any issues being out in the backyard alone. I'd recommend this place to anyone. Hosts were super great too.
