This studio apartment is very close to many of the historical sites that I was interested in seeing. The building has 24 hour desk coverage and felt very safe. I walked all over, at least 10 K a day sightseeing and felt very safe all the time. I took the metro one day to get to a park that was too too far to walk to. I was surprised to find that I was not charged because of my age ( over 60)..in fact many places were free entry for me.
