My husband and I stayed at the Frenchmen for a week in October. It was perfect for us. It was a comfortable walking distance to the hot spots on Frenchmen St and the French Quarter. The back patio has banana trees and the fruit tastes better than any I've ever had. Having pets around made us feel at home. It was WAY better than a hotel stay. Joanne and Robert are friendly and helpful but not intrusive. We would recommend this to anyone who loves to travel far but stay local!
