I have good experience in this neighbourhood, people are respectful, it's a nice place to live
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice and safe neighbourhood. I'm also very happy with the renovation of the Kanaalstraat, it's now more accessible and nicer to walk through. I've occasionally been catcalled near the Albert Heijn, which I really think shouldn't happen, but I'm not sure what we can do about it. I think there are enough shops in the area and I would recommend it.
