Don’t be intimidated by the building! The actual apartment is quite nice, cozy, and clean inside and we felt very safe in the apartment. The area around the apartment is okay, but sometimes at night I felt a bit unsafe because men are very aggressive here. Great place to stay if you don’t mind a walk to a nicer area for food or the beach or if you are planning to make day trips! Close walk to the central train/bus station and the port for ferries. Good value for what we paid!
