The Cornelis Troostbuurt
Residents of the district give it an average score of 7.47, based on four reviews. One resident says: "Lively, with a tram stop right outside and the North-South line station across the street. Albert Cuyp Market within walking distance. Supermarkets within walking distance. Lively bars and restaurants directly below the homes on this side." Another resident notes: "It's really a good neighbourhood. It's easily accessible by metro and tram, except at night. There's only 1 bus in the area and that one at 5 in the morning (to Schiphol) is super annoying. Furthermore, it's nicely green with parks and trees in the neighbourhood." A third review is more mixed: "Sometimes nice, sometimes a lot of poverty, sometimes chaotic, sometimes ok."
