Nice place, nice location. Though Ben's place is mixed among residential and commercial establishments, it's very walkable along the Lafitte Greenway, a bike-run path that stretches about 4 miles. Just east of Ben's place a couple blocks is a Whole Foods and a great coffee shop next to Flour Moon, a great bagel shop. In the other direction a couple blocks is one of iconic po-boy destinations in New Orleans, Parkway Tavern. We're used to street parking but the home has it's own driveway, an added plus. We felt totally safe there.
