This apartment is in a fabulous location. It is very safe. I was concerned about the area (as it had lots of graffiti) but you realize the art murals and graffiti all add to the vibe of this beautiful city. The supermarket across the road is very handy, lots of restaurants, little markets, buses around the corner. You can walk everywhere and close to all the main attractions. I was here for 12 nights, and would come back and stay again. Oh....and the bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept on!!
