Very filthy & unsafe neighborhood. Apt.located @ end of skid-row alleyway teaming with stray hungry cats short of things they eat. Barbed wire covers rooftop of adjacent funky bar/restaurant. Graffiti on virtually every building wall and fence in the area. Alleyway and street littered with trash. Both my cab driver and a local tour guide said the area was safe during the day but advised not to go out alone late at night. In fairness to the owner, the apartment might be as "luxurious" as advertised. The flat might have sparkled like a precious diamond but I was unwilling to mine through the dirt to find out. I did not venture inside.
