This is a nice middle class neighborhood. I felt very safe. There is a school in the area. My conference was at the Holiday Inn located at I35 and 290. It took just 5 min. to get Chalu's house. Chalu maintained great contact. You can tell she is very generous in spirit. She left instructions in the mailbox, so I knew just what to do. The home was as described and as depicted in the photos. It was very clean. The other guests were so quiet you'd never know they were there!
