This is a great value. Chrystal's palace is within walking distance of the French Quarter. As other reviews have noted, the neighborhood is sketchy. It's full of homes in disrepair and the streets are in terrible shape . However, every neighbor we interacted with was friendly and helpful.
Be sure to understand what a shotgun style home is. Each room must be passed through to reach the rear of the house.
One of the two couches with fold-outs wasn't usable (bent bed frame), hopefully something Chrystal fixes soon. It didn't affect our stay as our youngest was too scared to stay alone anyway and slept with her older sister in another fold-out.
The A/C also seem to struggle to cool the front room (where the unused couch for us was).
Overall this is a great value and I would stay here again.
