Nice people but dirty place and stench of exhaust gases, very busy and noisy
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience in the neighbourhood as a 21-year-old student is limited because I don't need to be there much; I would like to be more in touch with the neighbourhood, but that might be down to me, I don't know how. School and the facilities are pleasant and I feel at ease when I walk around.

The price per m² is about €9,750, while the neighbourhood average is €11,204, so it's actually below average on that metric.
