Ben is a very friendly, accommodating host. The place is clean, well equipped, and laid back - there's even a little back yard. The surrounding neighborhood has a rich history and you can easily walk to jazz museums, 24 hours of places to eat drink, and be merry. If you aren't used to cities the area might seem a bit rough, but I felt perfectly safe walking around. Stay with Ben in the Treme and you'll have a grand time!
