Ben’s shotgun house was the perfect place for our group of 5.
House: We found the house itself cute and felt like we were at home: beds/pillows were so comfortable, linens were nice, kitchen was well stocked, a/c worked well and the living room had plenty of seating. The shower does take a while to heat up, but we were often looking for a cooler shower in the NOLA heat anyway! We loved the keypad (instead of a key) because we didn’t all have to stick together the whole time or keep track of a key.
Neighbourhood: We fell in love with this location! We were a little unsure the first afternoon we got in (it is a little more eclectic than we were used to) but we were able to walk everywhere! We walked to Frenchman Street, French Quarter, Superdome day and night and felt safe. The scene on the block Saturday night is lots of fun! And although there is lots going on outside, the bedrooms were very quiet. Huge bonus is the amazing grocery store across the street. There is a trolley a block down too if you’re not into walking and want to get anywhere in the city.
Host: Ben was an excellent host. His communication was great. He had lots of tips about the place and the city, which we appreciated. He’s done a fantastic job of decorating the house and making it feel comfortable.
We would love to come back and can’t recommend this place enough!
