How safe is Heredia for solo female travelers?

How safe is Heredia for women?

I’ve always felt safe walking here, the locals normally say to avoid dark lonely places at night, walk with a companion whenever possible. Don’t approach strange motorcycles specially if they walk indoors and don’t remove their helmet

I have lived here since I was born. fortunately, I have never been a victim of assaults or robbers, still, be careful with your stuff... I have to say that I have always hated guys in the streets that always let out a "Good Morning" with this gross accent.. or worse.. they are not respectful at all, I don't know why they do what they do, but they do.. a lot... so be aware! Is not all the time, not all men do, mostly older, disrespectful men or homeless, but yes..
