Really enjoyed our stay at Ben's place in September 2019. The flat is self is very nice, convenient, spacious and clean. It was comfortable and we felt very at home there. Appreciated that the AC worked well, and quiet fans to complement. All the beds and sofas were super comfortable as well. Washer/dryer worked too. Everything functioned as it should have
The location worked well for us. Lil Dizzy's (great for breakfast and lunch) is approx. two minutes along Esplanade and there's also a small shop that was handy for snacks etc (four minutes). A five minute walk along Esplanade and turning right on Rampart puts you by the streetcar and Hop on/ Hop off bus stops. You are also very close to the Basin Street tourist centre . Many of the tours we took organized pick-ups from this area as well. All this to say that it is really very convenient, even for a quick walk to Bourbon Street.
Ben has some great tips regarding tours and activities so that you get the most of your visit Visit to New Orleans. Great place to stay, very efficient host!
