Ben’s place was great! Very clean and full of all necessary items (toiletries, blow dryer, clean linens and towels, extra pillows, kitchen items, etc). He even loaned us an umbrella after forgetting to bring our own. He invited us to dinner with his family and even though we weren’t able to make it, the gesture was so kind and appreciated. It’s a quick streetcar ride down to the French Quarter (and pretty much every other area you may want to check out) and Uber rides are around $10-12. The only downside was the pull-out couch which was pretty uncomfortable, but hey, that’s not unusual!
