How safe is Cochabamba for solo female travelers?

Couple travel

Very nice overall, would visit again! Definitely consider renting a car to move around, and public transportation is not reliable at all. Very cheap city, felt like a queen most of the time. Not very archeological or extreme, more of a relaxed city to visit.
