We were at Bianka's place for a solid month--and would encourage anyone to stay in the Seventh Ward. She is an amazing, helpful, easy to talk with host. We were a bit worried at first that there were not enough places we could walk to but quickly figured out that we could walk to the French Quarter, City Park, the Fairgrounds, three great coffee shops and a really delicious neighborhood cafe (Pagoda). New Orleans is unique and worth a long visit!
