The neighborhood/area, on the other hand, was “sketchy” to say the least. We heard sirens nonstop throughout the stay. My wife refused to go outside by herself. Normally, she would take a daily walk. We had numerous “potentially dangerous” interactions. Take it for what you will, but the location and the “97” walkability description is completely inaccurate. ##### Robert F.
