Cleaning and greenery leave something to be desired." Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.67 out of 10. The area is densely built and very urban, with mostly pre-war housing and a high proportion of single-person households. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Burgwal.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 33 years and I still walk around proudly at how beautiful the neighbourhood is, but connections and social contacts have deteriorated in the last few years, partly due to the "inbreeding" and greater differences between rich and poor.
