Neighbourhood felt very secure. It's a long walk back from the old town (where all the action is) so if you don't mind walking 20-30 minutes back at 10pm then that's ok. The apartment is lovely and very nice but just a little too far I felt for what we were there for. Public transport is really good though as most of the buses we needed were right outside the apartment, however they don't run all night. If you're there to work via internet then I'd suggest another apartment as the wifi was very limited each day.
