The Frans Halsbuurt is a dense, urban pocket with over 9,900 addresses per km². One resident who has lived here a long time says: "It's getting busier and busier with tourists.

Lots of rubbish in the streets and a lot of nuisance from pubs and restaurants. Noise from passers-by and tourists, especially in summer." That's the only review, so it's a single perspective.

Have lived here quite a long time. Too long. It's getting busier and busier with tourists. Houses are in poor condition, lots of damp and mould, and very small and noisy. Many people with kids are moving elsewhere. Lots of rubbish in the streets and a lot of nuisance from pubs and restaurants. Noise from passers-by and tourists, especially in summer.
