The neighboorhood seems to be not very safe, but we didnt encounter any disagreement.
It is quite far from the city center, 40min by foot. However the subway is very near, so it is quite practical.
We didnt meet the host, but she was quick to answer me.
The only real issue was that there is only one window in all the flat, and the high heat made it unbearable. There is an A/C in the flat but no instructions on how to use it where left. It is also not very well equipped, and there were no hot water most time.
Apart from that, nice place well located considering the price, thanks to the subway station very near.
