TALK about staying in unique accommodation!

The Mexican Government has announced plans to give away the safe house of former drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman in a national lottery.

While the winner will not get to relish every feature that El Chapo enjoyed, like the escape tunnel underneath the bathtub which has since been filled with concrete, they will get to live inside a modest two-bedroom house located in the aptly named suburb of Freedom.

In his time there, the drug lord had hundreds of surveillance cameras installed on the humble exterior and rumor has it, rigged the house with more than one escape route.

Whoever wins the lottery may find the neighbors a bit on the stand-offish side, as recent interviews with residents on the street suggest they are not interested in talking about El Chapo, or even for that matter having his name mentioned.

Let’s just hope for the new owner’s sake, El Chapo doesn’t turn up on the doorstep with the repossession papers.
