Sylvia and her family were great! Even though there was a language barrier, she tried very hard. Her husband Phillip picked us up at the airport for a small fee. He was very kind and even put the radio on an English station. It's so worth it to use Phillip because it's the same price as taking the subway except you don't have to struggle with your suitcases. Sylvia is so sweet and you could tell that she wants her guests to be happy. We felt very safe coming there late at night. There is a subway station close by - Rosa Parks. It takes you everywhere you need to go. Lots of restaurants and grocery store within walking distance.
