I was about to book one of the hostales in the Huertas neighborhood but now have read that it's kind of sketchy there, especially around the Antón Martín Me
tro stop & Calle Atocha. I'm not easily scared but I also know I should be careful. Does anyone know if it would be a better idea to stay in La Latina or another area? I was hoping to stay out of Sol/Gran Vía.
Thanks.
