Lola's place is very clean and safe. Even though my room was on the ground floor facing the street, I felt very safe-there are metal bars on the window and your door locks. There is a damp smell to the room as other people mentioned, but this was fine if I left the windows open. No AC in the room, but there's a high powered fan. Also-anyone over 6ft tall-the street room bed is like a day bed, so you may not be able to stretch out fully. I had no problems at 5' 10", however.
Overall, great place! A bit of a walk to the main sights, however, so just budget time for that.
