Great 2 BR place, perfect for our stay. The neighborhood is quiet, kind of run down. Didn't walk at night but probably could have....generally, it felt very safe. The Greenway trail goes right nearby...if I rode a bike that would a great way to get to around too.
Good layout and plenty of room for 3 people. Downstairs powder room is useful. Beds very comfortable and the entire place was super squeaky clean. Ben lives next door and is very communicative. We did not meet him but he responded immediately to messages if we ever had a question.
We took the Canal street and St. Charles streetcar a few times, but ended up mostly with Uber/Lyft as it was faster to get to other areas of the city which took about 10-15 minutes. A car would be useful, but glad we used other transportation, saved a lot that way. Also did a lot of walking and explored the mid-city area as well as the French Quarter and better known spots. Locally, a highlight was walking to City Park and seeing the sculpture garden next to the museum. Loved Ogden Museum and JAMLA for art.
One night in the French Quarter was enough, we like more alternative attractions and there were so many to keep us going a.m. to p.m. for 4 days! The city seemed friendly and welcoming, and there is a very positive vibe if you are open to the experiences. I'd like to come back, and would definitely stay here at Ben's again.
