The area was safe and close to a lot of the places we visited. We had no issues with the overall place. Just a little bummed out that there was no iron, like the listing suggested. I had tried contacting the host about this but never got a response back. There were also some ants crawling in the bathroom and in the single bed room. Aside from that the stay was good. Everything was clean, and the hosts did a great job at being flexible with our check in and check out times.
