She speaks some English. I stayed there on my first day of the trip and my last day. On last day in the morning there were contractors working upstairs around 8am, so it was a little noisy, but she was expanding, so it is temporary. Area may not be very safe, but you have key for your room and the front door. She seems to be always inside when you push the buzzer. Otherwise you can always call her. Near a nice Mall. I will go back again.
