When looking at your surroundings, it doesn't look like a very safe place. My fiancé and I had no problems with any of the neighbors and everyone was very friendly. We were able to walk to any place that we wanted to with no problems. I would recommend Joshua's place to anyone not wanted to stay in the middle of the French Quarter. It was so nice being able to get away from the hustle and bustle of town. The water pressure was low, but not a big deal. We never actually met Joshua, but that's ok! We still really enjoyed our time in his house.
