Great value for money, area is about 20 minute walk from the French quarter, felt safe during the day but would recommend a taxi at night. Room was nice and clean, we were out most of the time so didn't really have many interactions with other guests or Iris. In New Orleans would recommend pat o'briens for live music and the swamp tours! We also did the 5 in 1 ghost tour which was good! A must is also cafe de monde.
