Jakarta is a little bit like LA - you need a car to go everywhere. The traffic though - ugh. If people complain about LA traffic, they've never been to Jakarta.
It depends on the hotel, if it's a 4 or 5 star hotel, it's most probably really safe. But whenever I have to stay at a hotel in Jakarta, I always lock my laptop and other valuables in my luggage.
I think Jakarta is a lot safer than Thailand, at least the parts of Jakarta that I usually stay in. But overall it's pretty similar to Thailand - in terms of the cleanliness of the streets, the shopping places, etc.
You're going to have fun in Jakarta. Can't wait to come back in the summer!
