What you see is exactly what you get here. Do not be put off by the area, because the friendly people will surprise you. Just sit on the porch for a few minutes and you'll see what I mean. You are 100% safe, because they will look out for you. Some noise is to be expected in this urban location, but you have the basic necessities at your disposal and you cannot beat the price/hospitality anywhere! Mario and his team will constantly check up on you, to ensure your stay is comfortable. Also, if you're a foodie or at least unafraid to try something different, try the Caribbean restaurants in the area (Tasty/Yah Mon Island Grill). The food is DELICIOUS!! Book now. You won't regret it.
