They said it was not very safe around airport but i ve stayed twice in a B&B 5 mins from there, really cheap and clean and easily reached with Uber (in a very cheap price) with no problem even at night. We were a couple. Be careful as Uber taxis usually cannot reach airport or if they manage to do this , you will pay more. Just walk outside the airport (2 min walk) and call from there. Extremely cheaper!
Does the changing of the guard also occur on Sunday's. What time? Thanks AC
