The area is very cute and I felt very safe walking around by myself. Accessibility is fantastic - we decided to go to Florence one day and got back after the metro was closed, but the bus drops you off right in front of the flat. And then if you don't like buses, there is a tram that takes you almost directly to the metro. And if you don't like public transportation, I walked everywhere for the most part, since once you get to Poppolo, everything is so close.
