My family of 4 greatly enjoyed our 4-week "work-cation" at 1618 Frenchmen Street. Bianka was a very responsive host: whenever we had a question she would get back to us quickly with a reply. One example: the first night it rained there we let her know about a drip in one of the bedrooms. (I think we were the first folks to stay here since the remodel.) She let us know when she was going to have someone come over and look at it, and by the time it rained again, no drip!
While living and working in a "shotgun" room layout takes getting used to (there's no hallway, so walking from the front room to the kitchen has you walk through the center of the 3 bedrooms), when the doors were closed we had enough sound separation to be able to be on 4 different individual phone or video calls at the same time. (The 3 of us working full-time each staked a bedroom and the 4th had the kitchen. Occasionally one of us would work from the backyard, which was typically sunny and quiet.) The wifi was really good throughout the house.
The house and furnishings were basic but functional. The beds were comfortable. It was great to have the washer and dryer on site; the dryer was a little flaky, but Bianka is now on it.
The location was excellent for me. I had two favorite very-local spots by the end of the month: Nonno's just around the corner on Claiborne for delicious French toast (breakfast served all day!) and po'boys, and Madame Vic's on Elysian just south of Claiborne for drinks and live music, in a beautifully remodeled old building that also rents rooms.
Walking another 10 minutes south on Frenchmen St takes you to The Spotted Cat, Three Muses, Café Negril, dba, and other good venues for live music. (For the walk home we would go back on Elysian at it was well lit, whereas Frenchman had a couple unlit blocks.) If you are in New Orleans to enjoy the music, esp. jazz & funk, you will love this location!
We had a car and usually found a space to park right in front of the house; the furthest we ever had to park was one block north.
Everyone that we met and spoke with in the neighborhood was friendly to us.
The only uncomfortable experience we had was that, right at the end of our stay, on two separate occasions, we saw young men carrying guns in the vicinity of our place. Nothing happened; I'm only sharing because if this had been someone else's experience I think I would rather know than not know.
