Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a quiet street, but it's not very safe further into the neighbourhood. I live in an apartment that I'm very happy with and never want to leave. Everything is conveniently close in terms of shops and public transport, etc. But I do think the grass around the building is a mess... a shame.
