The host was welcoming and helpful - she arranged for a late check-in and went out of her way to make my stay enjoyable. The house is lovely and I'm told the neighbours are nice. The taxi driver who drove me to the property describe it as being "on the good side of a bad are", however, during my stay, everything was quiet and uneventful. Also, I walked to the city centre a couple of times and I didn't have any troubles nor did I spot anything troubling. Walking to the city centre takes more than an hour, but there are regular busses and there is a bus stop very close to the house.
