Yes Ken. The area you will be staying in is OK, but (just as any city) regardless of where you find yourself, one should try to walk where there are many others walking.

The area to avoid is DIRECTLY north of the Quarter (further away from the River)...in the area that formerly was known as "Storyville"...now possibly the most dangerous group of government housing projects in the entire United States - next to Armstrong Park.

Last time I was there, I staying at a Best Western - a mile or two away from the quarter...' had a free shuttle bus every hour or so down to tourist trap areas.

Are you planning on a walking tour of the Garden District?
