“ My first and only fear was about the neighborhood: don't believe google-map and taxi drivers. Compared to the realty, it seems that the google car recorded this area the day after Katrina ... and the taxi drivers just push you to use taxis ... this place is cool, safe, friendly and as new... more ”

“ Went to the place and it was in the middle of the ghetto. No-one was there to let us in and when we rang the owner he was unable to give us the code to let us in. This was despite informing him on when we were arriving. He then never rang us back...very poor. ”
