The area is great, close to the central market, with lots of restaurants and a nice bridge. We did have a bad experience nearby, but it didn't spoil the trip. Be careful around the ATM by Burger King. A large English-speaking man who said he was a taxi driver offered to exchange money without a fee. We took him up on it, which was stupid, and the money turned out to be no good. Even the exchange lady had a little sign warning people not to exchange with the man behind the wall. Wish we'd known.
