Auto-translated to English by AII hate it here, please get me out.
Auto-translated to English by AII think this is a very nice place to have grown up, it is very accessible by public transport and other modes of transport. Yet there are also small streets where you can play outside. There are a few playgrounds and small parks that are safe for children. And there are enough shops in the neighbourhood that you have all your amenities close by.
