While getting around in that area without a car is certainly possible,
it's also going to be far more of a pain, and the odds of your tires
being slashed even once are quite low, let alone a second time. So, I'd
suggest that you just rent a car and not worry about your tires getting
slashed. Clearly, you were quite unlucky last year, but I'd be very
surprised if you were that unlucky again. Obviously, it's up to you though.
