I stayed at Zoie's place for a week in January. Living in the tropics I was concerned about being warm enough...no problem.
It's a big spacious house with a bathroom to share. You can walk through the neighborhood on your way into French quarter/ downtown... I walked day and night and never had any hassle... Apply common sense and use Uber/ cab in case you feel unsure. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper...it's an old charming house so you can hear other people. Zoie is just a text away in case you have to ask anything...
