I feel that the price is relatively affordable, because I didn't live there because of the epidemic. I don't know what's going on inside.

Very good, very good, Sainsbury is downstairs. It takes only 12 minutes to walk to Tesco, Aldi, Iceland, Tkmaxx and other supermarkets. Walk to the city center for about 15 minutes (depending on personal walking speed). There is bus 64 downstairs, which goes directly to the city center and M&S. The price is very reasonable, but there is no gym, very quiet apartment. recommend.
