The place is located near many of the attractions. I felt very safe walking around during the day and getting uber at night. There is a 24 security guard present. There are many mosques in the area so be aware it can be loud on the first night but eventually it was a thing in the past, it didn't bother our stay. The people around the area are very nice so feel free to greet them. There are many restaurants and cafe nearby. The host is also available to help you with attractions tour, we didn'tuse them because we found out after we had planned everything but that's an option.
