Pros

Located in Treme, known for jazz clubs, soul food spots, and Creole heritage centers

Cons

Pet stays require an additional deposit

“Location and budget align here, although expectations should be tempered. Recent reports suggest necessary washings are happening, despite any prior concerns. I think its best qualities lie in the attentive staff and a pragmatic approach to value in a pricey city.”
