Very good · 2 residents
We regularly have trouble with full rubbish bins, causing rubbish bags to be left on the street, and I see in the neighbourhood app that there are issues with stolen packages from delivery services (although I think this is due to the residential building). Furthermore, the area buzzes with students and families and the atmosphere is mostly good, though sometimes noisy.
