My stay was pretty short but in that time I felt very safe & secure. The location is ideal for anyone who likes to explore and walk. You are close to most of the major attractions & it was great to be in the middle of the historical area. There are lots of great small winding streets which was so fun to get lost in. There are some okay restaurants in the area, I suggest moving away from the tourist traps and finding a good bodega. Shopping is plentiful.
Juan Antonio as a host was helpful and made sure I was okay everyday.
Overall my stay was great.
