Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here almost my whole life and it's a pretty chill neighbourhood. There's a playground with a football pitch almost right behind my house, so that was great when I was young. There's also a school a 4-minute walk away and next to it a new shop is coming. So amenities are close by. The only downside is that the metro is a 20-minute walk away.
