The house itself was secure with an alarm, but the area was not safe at all per Uber drivers. We couldn't sit outside on the porch without being harassed by people walking by. Not something the owner can control, but it's good to know before booking. It was close to the French Quarter, which was great... but overall it was not what were we expecting. The pictures posted looked better than the actual place. At night we heard knocking from underneath and the walls, which was creepy. The price for this place is cheap, so you get what you pay for I guess..
