    Is it safe to walk to the Airporto Hostel at midnight?

    Its in an industrial area just off the main road 10 minutes walk from the airport,quiet at night,cant imagine a taxi costing a great deal,theres a Metro station near by,but a taxi would be less hassle,if your not sure ask the owners advice, they are nice helpful ladies.
