They praise the easy access by metro and tram, the green spaces with parks and trees, and the abundance of shops, bakeries, butchers and eateries. Safety is good, with only occasional burglaries targeting shops. The only gripe: public transport at night is limited, and the early-morning bus to Schiphol is annoying.

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. There are also many amenities; shops, bakeries, butchers, eateries, really everything. Also, it's very safe, there are occasional burglaries but they are minor and only target shops. Furthermore, no one has been murdered or large drug labs found in years. Just lock your bike properly. The houses are nice and good, but WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! Renting here is a nightmare if it's not social housing :/
