Lively, but cosy

Lots of students and elderly people, kind of an in-between community. The waste disposal site is always dirty and stinks. Sometimes it just doesn't work at all!

Centrally located and also quiet

Nice neighbourhood, easily accessible by public transport and bike, a bit more difficult by car. Safe, tidy and good amenities in the area.
