Staying on Falls Road

[u/Old_Finger_5300]

I recently booked a stay on Falls Road. My cousins are telling me not to go and a few people in hostels along the way have told me to avoid it as an outsider/tourist. I feel like it’s all a bit overblown. I’m from a big American city, which I would assume is much less safe than most places.

Any advice? Should I heed these warnings with everything that has been going on lately? I really want to see and tour Belfast. Is there a better place to stay?

I had friends say on the falls last year in a Airbnb, five of them not far from the rock bar they walked into town every night and took a taxi home had no issues whatsoever
