I was one of only theee no minorities I saw in the neighborhood including the host. Lots of poverty and trash on the streets though Alex’s apt. was comfortable and had a nice funky feel. Don’t expect to socialize at all with him though when l knocked on his slightly ajar bedroom door to introduce myself, he was quite pleasant and available should l need anything. He then shut his door and l only glimpsed him when he came upstairs to clean p after the other guest
