The location is spot on. You can walk to Frenchman Street which is where the locals go to listen to music. Bourbon Street is within walking distance or you can walk a few blocks to catch the Trolly. Plenty of places to dine or drink within the neighborhood. The graffiti in the area might lead you to believe this is an unsafe neighborhood but quite the contrary. Everybody is out and about and very friendly. The art in the flat is outstanding. Just remember this is city living and with it comes city noises. We were lucky enough to witness a middle of the night wedding parade!!!
