Reply to "Renting an apartment in Europe"

John mentioned the Google street maps...really a very good way to check out a neighborhood, since it has more than just the maps! On top of the zoom scale on the map, you'll see a little orange man. Drag him onto a street on the map, and you'll see photos of the street.

 

It takes a couple of moments to get used to maneuvering, but you can go up and down the streeet, turn and face the opposite direction, "walk" around corners, and zoom in and out. You can use the Windows snipping tool or other to even clip pictures--I use it to give my wife a neighborhood preview before we arrive, with notes on where I've found the market, the grocery, the bus stop, etc.!
