MT420

My friend and I are looking at moving to Ohio City.I have been there once around the bar area, West 25th I believe? But I was wondering how safe it really is, we are two girls in our early 20's. The night I was there it seemed perfectly safe but then again that was just in that little area. I am also looking for suggestions on where actually to live, would you recommend renting a house, or are there any good apartment complexes in the area? Thanks for the help!
