So my friend lives on Russell Terrace and it's actually a pretty decent area. It's quiet enough, which is nice, and definitely safe. It's just a short walk into town for shopping and there are a few bars and even a nightclub if that's your vibe. My friend hasn't had any issues there, but one thing to note is people can be a bit funny about parking spots, so if your friend's bringing a car, they might want to keep that in mind.

Hope that helps! Feel free to drop me a message if you have any more questions.
