I stayed at Ben's place for a week while looking for an apartment to rent in New Orleans. It was everything I needed it to be. It's centrally located in the great mid-city neighbourhood, right around the corner from a Whole Foods, which makes it easy to get set up for a week, and an easy 10 min drive from all of the neighbourhoods I was interested in: Uptown, Irish Channel, Garden District, Marigny, and Bywater. The apartment was also huge, appointed with everything you might need for a comfortable stay, and quiet. Did I mention huge? In the end, I only used two out of the four rooms. It would be easy to fit a couple or three people here, since the front room has a day bed. I also extra appreciated the off street parking, which, as I learned, is a pretty rare amenity in New Orleans. It made me feel more secure about having my own vehicle in a city that I am still only just getting to know. I would definitely come back and stay again, except that I did find a place to rent! And will probably send friends and family here as well.
