Ben is a top-notch host. I had a long-term stay and anything that ever came up, repair-wise, was attended to immediately! Uber makes it possible to go everywhere you don't choose to walk. The duplex is on the "eastern edge" of historic Tremé immediately off Esplanade and close to Tremé's famous restaurants, parks and museums. I had not even one iota of problems with the area but do bring a noise blocking device for weekends -- it's New Orleans! The kitchen is large and pretty well stocked with utensils for cooking.
