It's a quiet neighborhood usually, there are many convenience stores around and great options for public transport. My biggest gripe with the area though is that I can don't really feel safe walking around outside past 8 PM. I've already caught glimpses of not so legal activity going on past that time, and I'm not in the business of tangling myself up with it.
