Loved this place! My wife and I stayed with another couple and the place was perfect for us. The owners were very friendly and checking in was no problem. Most importantly the place was beautiful, walking distance to the French Quarter, and cheaper than most of the hotels and B&B's in the area. Our cabby warned us about the neighborhood and I can see why you might think the neighborhood was sketchy, but having spent a few days walking everywhere we never felt uncomfortable and it was never more than a 30 min walk to get anywhere in the French Quarter.
