The neighbourhood is the historic centre, so it is lively and busy. Two residents have shared their experiences. One says: "It's a nice area to live in. The location is pleasant, but it's the centre so there's almost always noise pollution. Of course that's to be expected. However, the surroundings aren't very hygienic. In the courtyard where we live, there are many restaurants that dump their waste in the alleys. That's a shame." Another calls it a "Lively busy neighbourhood" and adds: "Street full of shops and cosiness. Nice and bustling sometimes also noisy but that's not the residents' fault haha." The area is densely populated with mostly single-person households, and the average income is around the national average.
