The area is very poor. There are homeless encampments on the corner. You share a kitchen with around 60 others. A homeless man slept in one of the stalls in the 4 shower, 4 stall bathroom, pretty much every night I was there. The pictures show you one hallway in a three story building with multiple hallways. I never felt unsafe, but I can see how others would. If this is all you can afford, then go for it, but personally I would never stay here again. I left as soon as I could.
