We loved the neighborhood, the handful of bars & restaurants on St. Claude a few minute walk away were awesome (try the pasta place)! I can try to see how some reviewers said they didn't feel safe here, but if you've ever lived in a big city, it will not be anything out of the norm. Cute, cozy little space suited us well for a 3 night stay. My only complaint is that their dog barked a lot in the evening, but she was just doing her job. :)
