How safe is León for female travelers?

Solo travel

No the most exciting city but it has ended up being one of my longest stays:) Between the EXCELLENT (and affordable!) vegan cafe nearby and the also excellent and affordable gym, this place has become a nice little spot where I’ve found myself settling into a routine for a bit. Very enjoyable
