Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here my whole life, and there are many good things about this neighbourhood, like the peace and quiet and the number of cats and dogs (which I really like). Also nice people!=) But there's always a lot of rubbish on the street and rubbish bags next to the neighbourhood container. Not very nice.... it also smells here sometimes, but that's probably due to the sewerage. In terms of facilities and surroundings, it's a fine neighbourhood to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AII am very satisfied with the neighbourhood where I live. The neighbourhood concierge is a great addition and ensures a pleasant atmosphere. The cosy shops in the area make shopping a pleasure, especially with Wilhelminapark nearby. And the Kohnstammschool is a hidden gem that makes the neighbourhood special for children's education.
