It is only 5 minutes from the bus stop away. Some people advised us to take care in this area but honestly we ( two girls) walked there around in the night and never had the impression to be in danger. They even asked us if we need help as they noticed that we are tourists. Check in and out was really uncomplicated. We had a flight back late in the afternoon and had the possibility to keep our luggage there. We met Janelle twice in front of her house leaving the apartment. She was friendly to us. Maybe the kitchen can be better equiped ( not using plastic, big bowls aso) and also inside the drawer can be cleaned.
