Ben was an amazing host. He called before our visit to make sure we knew he was available anytime during our stay. We felt uneasy about the neighborhood but honestly it isn't as bad as it looked. We met a youngman who worked for the city who was 29. He was working on pipeline on the street. He told us it's like any town there is good and bad. He told us what to drink and where to eat. He made us feel comfortable in the neighborhood. The location is close to everything we wanted to visit. Just remember that you are near the hospitals so you will hear sirens a lot. You hear them all over NO. We had a great time. Ben's place was great. The neighbors were quiet so no issues there. We even walked up to the underpass and took pictures of the artwork on the columns. My 16 yr old son loves art. We visited St Lewis Cemetery No 1 and had amazing time with Save Our Cemeteries tour guide. We visited the WWII Museum. We went over causeway of Lake Ponchatrain and it is beautiful in Mandeville. We also we to Oak Alley Plantation and the food was amazing. It was well worth the trip. Ben is a great guy and a wonderful host. There were plenty of towels, paper towels, tissue, extra blankets, plenty of pillows, soap, shampoo, conditioner, and he had laundry detergdetergent. We brought our own detergent, softener and other toiletries we needed. The last airbnb we stayed in didnt have any towels, wash rags, paper towels or tissue. This was a much better Airbnb experience in New Orleans. Thanks Ben for everything. God Bless.
