Auto-translated to English by AIOn the quays there is a lot of noise.. Logical if you live on a "street" with nightlife. With eateries, clubs, pubs, outdoor terraces with lighting..very cosy... but enormously chaotic! You have to be able to handle it... Furthermore, I find the police presence rather lacking, there is a lot of crime and violence sometimes.. mess on the street from eateries for example... safety could be better, if the housing corporation paid more attention to the residents around this area..
