No issue whatsoever. Everyone stays at the adjacent hotels and I would think that the AC is much safer

I used to go there to study and shmooze with all the journalists there but never stayed overnight. Have a feeling it might be a bit overrated

It may be safe but why would you want to stay in that area?

As they'd ask on DDFB, is it safe?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

It's an Arab neighborhood. Jews walk around there all the time without incident but some would feel uncomfortable and the risk is obviously greater than a Jewish neighborhood.
