There is a mix of poor and rich, the neighbourhood is still being renovated and the area is fully under development, but already beautiful, a little village among the apartment blocks. Easily accessible by both car and public transport, I say: a top location. As for hygiene; a lot of rubbish on the street and near the bins, I regularly see rats running around.
