Place is newly renovated and updated. Very clean. Neighborhood is safe and close to bus stop, which you will need to get to the tourist sights or the evening social areas. This area is an older run down section of town that is a distance out. Taxis do not take credit cards either, so get some Euros to use. The quickie mart will sell a bus pass via credit card. The area is good for those wishing to live locally to use market and residential shops, but far from everything that a tourist wishes to see or do. For tourism, stay near White Tower or main Square.
PS- You still will need to climb a flight of stairs after using the elevator
