My experience in the neighbourhood used to be very good. It was fun and cosy. Now there are some people living there who make it a lot less cosy and cause unjustified nuisance. You are wrongly accused and the police are called immediately. Personally, I don't think it's a safe neighbourhood, cars also drive very fast and there are many children who are careless with scooters or fatbikes.
