Jose’s place was nice in a lot of ways. First it was nice to have a place that was big enough to spread out. The beds were comfortable enough, the couches were good, and it has a dining table that we ate at, which was nice to have as well. It was relatively close to the city, and where we wanted to primarily hang out, so that was nice.
The neighborhood is definitely not the greatest, we have lived in Dallas and while most areas are very nice, this area tends to be a little more on the sketchy side. There were people outside at all hours of the night across the street, doing stuff in there yard and looking at people who are coming by, there were cars that would just park and sit in their car in the middle of the street with loud music playing and just smoke out. We did witness a drug deal once. It didn’t necessarily feel unsafe, but it wasn’t as secure as we like it either. There are some repairs needing to be made to the floor as there are major cracks in the grout of floor tiles.
Overall, if you know how to function in a ghetto, you’ll think this place is nice, if you don’t, you may want to rethink your stay based on the area.
