Close to a lot of action, including a really good restaurant next door (Good Fortune). Place was clean and comfortable. It is above a restaurant so there is noise, but it didn’t really bother us. Would definitely stay there again.

It was great to have two nice bedrooms. There were a lot of abandoned storefronts around, but the streets seemed safe to walk. Beale street is an easy walk. I would stay there again if I needed two bedrooms.
