It's the perfect place for a long stay. It's very spacious, and Paola was an awesome host!
We had a friend and our daughter join us for a while during the month we were there an Paola was very accommodating and flexible.
The area is totally fine. Yes, there is some graffiti and you can occasionally smell weed when you are walking around, but we never felt unsafe, and it really overall has a very cool vibe to it.
