I stayed in Suzi's place for three months, which was in a very convenient location close to the University, grocery stores, restaurants, and port. As Suzi mentions, the place is definitely much smaller than the photos make it appear. Amenities were lacking for a long-term stay in the kitchen. Room gets extremely hot during summer months, and could do without carpeted flooring (with it being such a small space).
Overall felt safe but the building does not have 24/7 security or concierge.
