The area was very safe. The check-in was easy. The bed was extremely comfortable and everything was very clean. We are from the United States and we had no idea how bad the traffic and parking would be. We rented a car and spent over an hour trying to find a parking spot. Finally found one about a 20 minute walk away. I would recommend taking a taxi or using the bus and avoid renting a car. If you need a store, ATM or restaurant they are all within walking distance.
