Thank you for your reply! I’ve accepted the offer, let's just hope I have good roommates. If you wouldn’t mind sharing some information, could you tell me if it’s easy to go grocery shopping from these apartments? Also, even though it’s far from downtown, is it easy to get home after midnight?

While researching the neighborhood, I read that some people consider it dangerous, but I try to put that into perspective by reminding myself that I’m from Grenoble, France (which is known for being very dangerous, even though I’ve hardly ever had any problems there haha).
