Bianka is very friendly and accommodating. The house is best suited for up to 8 people. The location looks a bit sketchy but it was actually fine. I traveled with a group of women and we felt safe and secure in the home and surrounding neighborhood. We were there for Mardi Gras and getting to and back from the French Quarter was a hassle as traffic was really hectic. That being said, we were very close to the St. Charles Street routes AND the Zulu parade passed right by the house to the point that we could see the floats from the balcony. The house was very clean and appropriately updated. Grocery stores aren't very close by but there were plenty of nice places to eat within walking distance.
