Our host was friendly and made a point to be there when we arrived. She promptly set up a personal code for us to access the door lock, that way we could come and go as we pleased. The charm of the Rose Room matched our expectations, though the decor had been altered a bit from the listed photo. The neighborhood has seen better days though it is safe to walk around as we did stroll down Frenchmen St. to the French Quarter. Some of the shared areas could have been cleaner, but for the price and location it's a good value overall.
