I really wish that I knew about the area before I booked this trip. The apartment is beautiful, clean, spacious and convenient. However, the immediate area is simply unacceptable. I’m pretty sure this is the “red light” district, or something similar. Of course, there are normal people everywhere as well, however, it is very unpleasant to approach the apartment at any time of day. I feel safe inside the building, but I would not recommend this part of town to anyone visiting Hamburg
