I enjoyed my stay at Leron and Dennis's house. Leron was there to greet me upon my arrival (very professional, by the way - the hosts also promptly return texts and answer questions) and showed me my room and and made me feel welcome.

The house was clean and well-appointed - tasteful decorations, newly painted, etc. The bedroom was clean and comfortable and right across from the shared bathroom. (Bed was a mite soft for my taste - but that's a subjective thing.) Another reviewer mentioned the lack of a nightstand next to the bed - I'd concur it would be a welcome addition for eyeglasses, phone, etc.

Yes - there are roosters crowing in the wee hours. The first night I was there I was woken up, but earplugs help (supplied by Leron), and I also got used to them. But if you're sensitive to noise it's something to consider.

The house is about a 25-30 minute walk to the Quarter, walking at a fairly fast clip. My sense of direction is abysmal; I relied on Google maps for directions - there might be a shorter route. Renting a bike helps - it really makes a difference. It's about a 25-minute walk to the clubs on Frenchmen. So the house is somewhat off the beaten path but it's pretty easy to get to where the action is. Parking is ample (and free) if you have a car.

The immediate neighborhood seems fine - apart from the roosters it's pretty quiet. I didn't explore the area much, but St. Roch's Cemetery is worth a visit - especially the ex voto room.

I did walk back once to the house from Frenchmen late at night and it's something I would not recommend. The area after the clubs was dark and desolate. Nothing happened, but when I mentioned that I took this route to a couple of native New Orleans residents I was strongly advised not to do this again. But plenty of cabs are at Frenchmen late at night near the clubs - I think I paid $9.75 including tip.

I left in the morning and didn't return till late at night, so I didn't hang out at the house much - not really at all, in fact. But when I arrived Leron offered me some chicken he was cooking, directed me to the stove and the cooking implements if I wanted to cook, and said I was welcome to use the washing machine and the television. So if you do want to take a break and hang at the house I'm sure it would be fine. Leron and Dennis are homebodies and retire early, though once I came back late and they were gathered on the porch with a couple of other guests (there are two guest rooms) and offered me a nightcap. Very hospitable.

Overall a good experience - I recommend this accommodation and would certainly consider another stay at Leron and Dennis's when I return to NOLA.
