Very centrally located in the shopping district and easily accessible by public transport or bike. A park and two forests within walking distance. Usually very busy on the streets at weekends and sometimes an unsafe atmosphere on the streets at night.

Nice neighbourhood

Good and accessible, occasionally parking problems but that is to be expected for the centre. Furthermore, a neighbourhood with lots of greenery and generally communicative, friendly neighbours. Definitely recommended to live here.
