Staying with Dennis and Leron was a pleasant experience. Upon our arrival Leron showed us the house and promptly explained the rules. They were cordial hosts and always willing to give us restaurant and tour suggestions.
The walk from their home to Frenchman Street was about 15min and 20 until the Quarter at a hungry pace. Some locals throughout our trip told us the Marigny was not a good neighborhood, but St. Roch is well lit and the house is on the edge of a well-lit recreation field so we did not feel too unsafe walking at all hours of the night. But we would not advise walking on side streets after dark.
The house was clean and use of the kitchen including space in the fridge, and use of the washer and dryer were a big plus.
The floors were dirty and the room had a moldy smell on humid days, but that is expected in NoLa we suppose. The room could use some side tables, since the only space available to store such things as cell phones, water bottles, and earplugs was on the floor next to the bed. Additionally, there is only a ceiling fan, which we kept on high every night, but were still quite warm being unaccustomed to such humidity and no A/C in the room. Dennis and Leron did warn us about the roosters that crow beginning around 4:30am, but we did not find it a serious inconvenience since they provided earplugs and roosters never crowed all morning. The bed was not comfortable, and we could easily feel the springs when we lay down.
Overall we would recommend staying Dennis and Leron.
