Ben's place is perfect if you have a group of 5 or 6 and want to be close to Frenchman street. As other reviews have mentioned, this place can be very loud on weekends, but it didn't bother us too much. There's a great fries and pies place next door and a walgreens a couple blocks down, and really almost everything downtown is walk-able during the day. The house was very clean, the beds (including the day bed) were very comfortable, and the area felt safe.
