This was a very pleasant space in a lovely neighborhood. It's more of a studio than a 1 bedroom (there's no door between the bed area and the living room area) but it's got all the basics, and the bathroom and kitchen area are actually more spacious than they need to be. It's very close to some of our favorite bars and restaurants, and the hike/bike trail around the lake. However, we brought our bikes with us, and left them on the patio overnight (each with a lock around the wheel and frame), and one of them was stolen on the first night. The second evening, one of the neighbors came by and told us to be careful because over a dozen bikes had been stolen from the building before - too late for us, but it sounds like a relevant warning. I don't think there's any worry about personal safety in the area, but if you're going to bring bikes or anything else that could be stolen, make sure to store them inside! (I was able to fit mine inside without too much trouble for the second evening.)
