Young and old live here. Lively neighbourhood with many cafes and restaurants and you can walk into the city centre in no time.
Auto-translated to English by AII have really enjoyed living here from the start. Young and old live here and it is very green. You can easily walk into the city centre and there are many eateries in the area.
Auto-translated to English by AII personally experience little cohesion in the neighbourhood. Nevertheless, it is a cosy spot, lots of nice houses, easily accessible. Just a bit lacking in green & not always very clean.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a beautiful location close to the canal and the city centre. But that's about it. Little greenery, sense of community, and often dirty streets.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe house where I have lived for 14 years now suits me very well and I live in a very nice neighbourhood, very orderly.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt has everything. That doesn't always have to be positive, but in general it's really nice here!
