I like this neighborhood, always have, and it has more and more cafés and things these days. This particular stretch isn't the most gentrified, which I prefer, but it's as safe as anywhere in my view. The apartment is SUPER clean and serious effort is put into making sure you are comfortable! Communication is good and everything works. Note that in the kitchen there isn't more than coffee pods and stevia, not even salt, and there are no metal utensils so if you think you might need a metal knife (e.g. to cut bread) or anything like that, bring it along. You'll enjoy this place, it's a good location to get anywhere in the city, it's very very New Orleans, and it's quiet--you sleep well. Walking back from the FQ Sunday afternoon I got caught up in a great second line, all by chance, coming up a parallel street, it was great.
