As one who spends up to 100 nights a year in hotels and Airbnbs', I offer my opinion. This is a great apartment. You will feel very safe as every precautions is taken to provide you a safe living experience. Needless to say I found the area to be safe. You will enjoy a comfortable apartment with all the basic amenities. I was there for 1 month. Around the block there is a La Comer grocery store and a short walk there is a Walmart Express. If you prefer to eat out, in the building next door where the YMCA is located there is a great place for breakfast. They also serve lunch and dinner. Walk through the streets behind and you will find many local restaurants and street food vendors. There are drug stores and even a health food store. Need pampering? A short walk away you will find Mayen Center SPA. They have 2 locations and both are very close. You will be a short Uber ride from "La Avenida Presidente Masaryk" in which you will find high end shopping and many top rated restaurants. As well as you will be a short ride to many places of interest to include the Historic Center. And perhaps the most important factor is that if needed you will be able to contact your host. They are excellent!
