It's in poorer neighborhood but felt safe enough (always use caution when walking at night, avoid it if possible) the location is good because it is walking distance to the common tourist spots. There is also a local market 3 blocks away that sells almost anything. For travelers with stronger stomaches and looking to eat great local food from fresh tortillas to pozole to tacos, this market was awesome and cheap (cash only). Unfortunately, my friend and I decided to leave this apartment early due to cockroaches. So that did kill the mood. Until that issue is fixed, i can't recommend.
