Super cosy and beautiful neighbourhood but the location so close to the city centre causes a lot of nuisance that is not addressed by enforcement and/or police. Previously had a drunk vagrant in the shed, who had broken in, and often drunk people in the street. Many neighbours are quite self-centred and think they can 'borrow' our driveway for hours without asking.
