Dogs in an alley, trash, dumpsters, abandoned buildings, abandoned cars, graffiti, the smell. I never made it in the hotel, so I don’t know anything about it. I was so disgusted I had taxi driver recommend a hotel. I am paying more, but I feel I am in the 1st world enjoying good food, good company, and feel safe walking around. The Marinara area looks like 3rd World Africa or S. America
