Ben’s place is tastfully yet simply decorated. The themes are clearly from him being in the film business.
He was a producer of the documentary Big Charity which deals with the final chapter in the life of largest public hospital in the US. I remember seeing exerpts on CNN.
If you are an amateur historian as I am, staying at Ben’s place certainly peaked my interest in both the recent and past history of NOLA.
The area is undergoing renewal which I find both interesting and positive for the community. Ben’s place is well renovated, large ( double shotgun ), has a large backyard with an annex and is well equipped.It is an $ 8 ride to the French quarter.
I would certainly recommend staying at Ben’s and hope to return.
