It could be better but is certainly not bad.

Nice neighbourhood but many facilities have disappeared in the last few years due to budget cuts.

A pleasant and quiet place.

Unfortunately, many facilities have disappeared in recent years due to the municipality's cutbacks. Apart from that, a nice atmosphere and never really any nuisance.
