Is it safe at night being so close to skid row?

I booked an apartment at 1360 South Figueroa Street not knowing it was near skid row. Is it safe to walk about during the day and especially at night?. We wont arrive at apartment untill its dark so am worried there will be gangs /shady people about.

no. absolutely not safe. not so much gangs but lots of drug addicts and homeless people. As the sun starts to go down the homeless tents come out and it turns into zombieland. Although i am talking about area near Los Angeles Street between 3rd and 9th Streets. this is about 8 or 9 blocks away from your address.
