One resident describes it as "a quiet part of a busy neighbourhood," adding that "the streets behind it are actually very quiet and peaceful" because there are few amenities in that part. They note that "you can easily reach all necessary shops on foot," but also mention that "due to the few cafés in these streets, there is little sense of community."
