I've been living here for almost 2 years now and all in all I'm satisfied. Of course, I sometimes see young guys on the street shouting hot-headedly and pushing/shoving each other, but that's part of it. Furthermore, I feel safe here and hardly anything happens. I don't feel attached to my neighbours or the other people on my street, but I do recognise a few and always say a friendly hello, and get it back. There are no arguments and we let each other live and leave each other alone, fine! The centre has enough amenities and I don't really miss anything, except for the fact that there is no Chinese restaurant that delivers food, but that might be very specific of me. For a place so central, I'm satisfied with how much green there is. Recently, a new small green area was added and I find this very pleasant both for the eye and for walking my dog. In terms of hygiene, I find it quite substandard. People leave dog poop lying around, there is often vomit on the street from people who have been out and about, and a lot of litter and food scraps. This surprises me in a negative way and I find it a great pity. This is the only downside; otherwise, I am very happy and satisfied with both my place and the environment!

Based on one resident review, the atmosphere is friendly but not overly close. People greet each other and keep to themselves. The reviewer feels safe and notes that arguments are rare, though there is some noise from young people on the street occasionally.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The apartment is in a central urban area, so private outdoor space is not typical here. The resident review mentions a nearby green area for walking the dog.
With 92 m², it could have two or three bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
