Homeless people and tourists do regularly cause nuisance and the fact that the neighbourhood is unhygienic." The area is densely populated, with many singles and a mix of ages. Most homes were built before 1945, giving the streets a classic Amsterdam character.
For your morning bread, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Jumbo is a five-minute walk.
