The apartment is in an ideal location for getting to various tourist destinations. However, the area is somewhat sketchy. Our taxi driver that picked us up from the airport wanted us about pickpockets and thieves, as he was helping us get out bags out of the car a pickpocket got into his car to steal his phone. As a group of 6 guys we didn't feel unsafe in the area, but if I wasn't in a group I wouldn't advise staying in this area. The apartment did the job but some of the beds were somewhat uncomfortable.
