Decent location, a bit of a walk in the summer heat. The train stop is a little bit of walk too, but manageable. The neighborhood is very NON-touristy - which I LOVE about this area! There are so many hip bars and restaurants. Disregard the graffiti and abandoned buildings in the area - it is VERY safe, and I have never felt unsafe staying here coming and going at all hours of day/night. I would recommend this place for an affordable place to crash.
