There is a lot of pearl clutching on reviews about the area around this property. It’s completely safe, yes okay there are diverse people around including some homeless beggars. Get over it, this is late stage capitalism. The facilities are exceptional, especially for the price, and the location is great nice and central, can get anywhere in Hamburg very quickly.
The bad reviews regarding the area are down to two things - racism and classism that is it. It’s safe as houses - it’s Germany, the western world, nobody is going to attack you for no reason and there is tons of people around.
