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!
