The neighborhood is very safe and quiet at night. (I walked 10 blocks home from dinner late at night and felt perfectly safe.) It's on the ground floor, so you can hear the front doors slam when someone enters and leaves, but it's not that bad. The place was very clean when I showed up and check-in was easy. The hosts were very communicative and things went super smoothly. The only downside was the missing/broken towel rack in the bathroom.
