I felt completely safe in the hotel room/building. The front door seemed to be a safe vault! (No lie) We are not used to a big city with a lot of graffiti. When we first approached the face of the building, my husband was a little worried (there was a hardware store there - with lots of graffiti). Once we got through the locked gate, and were buzzed into the complex it's like you leave the city behind. I have to say we had a great stay, it was clean and surprisingly quiet for how close it was to the tram - which we found very convenient, just a half block away. There is a grocery store a block away too. It's not a touristy section at all, mix of residential/urban, but safe! The room we stayed could have easily slept 4 (there were just two of us). But the bathroom was across the little lobby, that was the only awkward part. Though the bathroom was private in that we could lock it etc. I get up a lot at night- and had to cover my nightgown as I might have walked into someone in the lobby while getting to the bathroom. My husband did one morning - when someone was checking out very early (5:30 am). I believe the guest house was on the fourth floor of a residential apt. building and has a small elevator. It was clean, quite and safe - locked gate, locked building entrance & locked door. Katie at the front desk was extremely helpful during our stay, she really went above and beyond -- when I noticed after check out I had left my computer brick and adapter in the room!
