The room we rented at Nicole’s house was excellent. Big and comfortable. Being November, expect a little bit of cold. Nothing that the electric heater she has inside the room can not fix. The bathroom was always clean and although it is shared, we never had to wait to get in. St. Roch, if you are not familiar with the neighboorhod, is 30-40 minutes away from the attractions in the French Quarter, so, definitely not what you would call “walking distance”. The neighboorhood feels a little bit sketchy but we never had no trouble. We mostly Ubered at nights. Between 7-14 dollars. Oh, and if you are thinking of renting a car, do so, as other attractions (swamp, plantation) are outside the city.
