The neighbourhood was safe but not quiet. The are annoying ice cream trucks and loud dogs every day. I was only there for sleeping so I didn't care so much. The apartment is perfect if you just want a place where you can stay (and you don't care about ants in the kitchen or in the bathroom) In general, I had a good stay at Penelopes AirBnB. In Addition, you stay really depends on the other apartment mates as well.
