The value for what you are paying here is unbeatable, especially if your traveling as a larger group. The number of sleeping spaces and communal areas that you can relax and enjoy a time together is amazing.
The location is centrally located, and while it's a perfect spot for getting anywhere in the city (and even a lot of closer walking options) I would say it's in a lower income area of town. I'd suggest walking at least with another person or a group if your concerned, and after hours if your not a group of guys or have some to just take a cheap Lyft/Uber in and out if you can't drive. In the apartment though I felt TOTALLY safe, it's a great place!
Things were clean, orderly and there were signs in the property and helpful communication from the host all through the process. You'll get a fantastic email with local suggestions, but I'd also suggest trying things a bit outside the comfort zone. There is a nearby Cairo grill that served MASSIVE "half-plates" and while it seemed run down, the food was delicious. I'd also suggest checking out "Band Box Diner" just a short drive to the North for the best burgers in the city and a phenomenal patty melt.
