The place was located in a safe part of town we felt. It is a 15 minute walk to the nearest subway however! So bring your walking shoes. When we arrived you had to enter through a back alley, and no it was not scary at all it was completely safe!! However the cleaning service she uses did not clean the apartment before we got there. White dog hair on the couch and human hair in the shower. The only thing really clean was the bed. I informed her of the issue and she was insta ding and refunded the cleaning charge. She said she would address the issue with the company she uses to clean. So all in all if that issue is addressed I would LOVE TO STAY HERE AGAIN!
