Solo traveler

Hello! I’m a female solo traveler coming to Jakarta for 3 days this April. Main agenda would be to go mall hopping🫣

Would it be better/safer for me to stay in an Airbnb or a mini hotel (eg Cool Living, La Boheme, Choska Residence)? Hotels are a bit out of my budget (i.e. IDR 617k per night). Would appreciate some recommendations on this and the best area to stay- im planning to stay in SCBD or Thamrin :) 

I’m also planning to go everywhere using grab/gojek, but my main concern would be the ‘macet’ problem. Is there a specific peak time or is it going to be macet all day long? 

Also is there any areas in particular that are not safe and should be avoided? 

Appreciate any advice!! 

Thanks in advance🙇‍♀️
