Auto-translated to English by AIPros are the atmosphere. Truly a Rotterdam character in 2023. Many different backgrounds. Disadvantage is the busy access road into the city. Tram track, many cars and route for ambulances and police cars. Architecture is ugly. Also, the green spaces are not optimally used.
