Watch out for

• Closer to rail and bus activity around Alcântara means more movement and occasional traffic noise than a purely residential street.
• Nighttime conditions are not well documented in the sources, so keep a normal city-level caution after dark.
• This is an area with mixed residential and transport-use edges, so comfort can vary block by block.
