Ben's house was bright, clean, and well air-conditioned. The beds were comfy with thick memory foam mattresses. Uber rides to Bourbon St were $7. We enjoyed walking to the Treme Coffee House, a couple blocks over, for breakfast and Snoballs. Ben also had a great list of restaurant and event recommendations to share. He had availability before we checked in and offered to pick us up at the airport for a rate that was cheaper than Uber. The neighborhood was a little loud at night (Saturday) with traffic from the nearby overpass but no different than noise in any other city setting.
