Check the neighborhood at the time of day you will actually use it. A place can feel totally different at 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

Learn a few local phrases and one apology phrase. People are usually generous when they see you trying. It sounds small, but the prototype matters.
