Brett's place is lovely. You are really close to one of New Orleans iconic music venues - Tipitina's, which we liked because we spent our New Year's Eve at a concert there. You are also walking distance to Mr. Mao, a great fusion restaurant, and only about a five minute walk to Magazine St, with its shops and restaurants. On New Years Day, we were treated by a second line parade that started at Tipitina's and walked right past Brett's place. Hard to get more New Orleans than that.
In the reviews there were a couple of criticisms that you could hear the music from Tipitina's. We found that yes you could make out noise from the club, but it certainly wasn't anything that kept us up.
Finally, the place was very clean, and the kitchen was easy to use.
