caveat

A la carte pricing is a tradeoff

Pricing reviews describe an a la carte structure that can increase costs with more services.

One reviewer says the pricing is a la carte, where needing more daily services can mean paying more, and there is a stated maximum for services. At the same time, other reviewers say pricing felt reasonable compared with alternatives they considered.

caveat

Mixed experiences with safety and upkeep
