location was secure and we felt safe while sleeping inside. you share the kitchen with other tenet using upstairs room, which I assume is also rented out. has working fridge and coffee maker, but couldn't figure out how to use. didn't matter much anyway as we always went out. half hour walk to French quarter, but wouldn't walk the streets at night alone. bathroom is huge and shower is great! room was nice and cool though out the night. would stay again!
