Ben's place was the perfect home base for our trip since we didn't want to be near the French Quarter. There are actually loads of phenomenal restaurants and bars within walking distance. Easy and cheap Ubers around the city. Ben was the perfect host and even left us snacks upon arrival. The place was exceptionally clean and we had a stash of extra pillows, blankets and towels too. We'd definitely stay here again. Just one note since we missed it ourselves, the master bedroom is in the back of the house so you have to go through the second bedroom to get to it. Not a big deal since we're very close to the people we were traveling with, but just in case you're not, you need to coordinate bedtimes and wake up times. Overall, we'd definitely visit New Orleans again and stay at Ben's place!
