Brick did a great job preparing the apartment and providing lots of conveniences that make life easier for travelers: small snacks in the kitchen, cold drinks in the fridge, light breakfast fare in the kitchen, umbrellas, good work space to set up a laptop. Even a washer/dryer. The neighborhood borders the French Quarter and is an easy walk to many activities. Pedicabs will drop you right at the door of the apartment. There is a mini mart 1/2 block away. Off street parking is provided and is right at the apartment door. We hope it is available next time we visit New Orleans.
