The place was clean, looked just like the pictures and was in a really great location. Lots of ppl jogging and walking dogs which made me feel comfortable walking mine! Yes my pup joined me. The only drawback is the walls are a bit thin, as it's a beautiful yet old building. Because I was on the 1st floor, I could hear the ppl above me. They stomped when they walked and were just loud ppl and it was annoying. Sarah brought me a sound machine which helped a lot. I would stay here again, but probably in the Stevie or Amelia because they are on the 2nd floor.
