Solo Travel in Santiago de los Caballeros, DR

I’m planning to solo travel to Santiago de los Caballeros as a woman in her mid 20’s and was wondering if that’s safe? I was also wondering if there’s any recommendations anyone has, I’m excited to see what the city has. I see a lot of comments that Uber driver’s won’t accept your rides. if you’re paying with card, what’s the best safest way to get around? I speak Spanish and haven travelled to Paris and CDMX alone so I feel like it should be fine but curious to hear other’s experience.
