Auto-translated to English by AIA nice location in terms of all amenities. The station is nearby and within a few minutes' walk you are also at one of the markets or the Herestraat (centre). However, this is also where the red light district (my neighbourhood) is located, where there is a bit more crime. This is managed with preventive measures and police that are quick on their feet. Other than that, there are also beautiful old houses in this neighbourhood and I have a pleasant street in terms of neighbours.
