We are out-of-towners who had never been to New Orleans and weren’t quite sure of the area. We felt safe and comfortable and enjoyed staying in a shotgun house! There is a bar next store (we didn’t notice any noise at night), a pizza place across the street and several other places in walking distance. We drove from Illinois and we’re glad street parking was so easy. Trent’s place is a 10-15 minute ride to the French Quarter - close enough, but just far enough away to get a break from the party. We’d definitely stay here again!
