My friend and I met Ronnie and he was really nice and accommodating. He allowed us to drop off our stuff before check in and then gave us information about nearby restaurants and places to go. The room was clean, and there were fresh towels and basic necessities. There wasn't any small essentials but there are nearby places that sell travel size shampoo and ect. Also, the area is a bit sketch but in the daylight it was fine and although we had a few random people come up to us, we just minded our own business. French Quarter is about 20min walking, St Roch is literally a 5min walk and a MUST, there is a bus line a few feet away that will take you to the main areas where you can transfer to different parts of NOLA. Bus fare all day is ONLY $3! Also Ronnie kept the AC on for us all day which was heaven because the heat and humidity about did us in. Just FYI The AC vent is right above the bed so you will get direct flow onto your head. There was also room in the fridge if we wanted to leave food (there is a grocery store about 10min walking) and coffee for guests and Netflix/Hulu ect in the living room. We basically had the house to ourselves and other guests kept to themselves. This place is a MUST!
