don't let the location scare you off. st. roch isn't the most polished neighborhood you'll ever stay in, but i felt perfectly safe while i was there. in fact, more people said hello and good morning in that neighborhood than any other while i was there. the st. roch market down the road is a great place to get just about everything you'd want in terms of food and drink.
nicole is a great host, quick to communicate and had a lot of recommendations. she also has a sweater-wearing dog named FettyPup so what more could you want?
