Super nice

I lived in this neighbourhood for 8 years and nothing extremely dangerous ever happened. Of course there are drunk youngsters who can't behave themselves, but which neighbourhood doesn't have that? Other than that, a super nice neighbourhood.

Living by the market

Very cosy, the market on Wednesdays and Saturdays really appeals to me. Could have been a bit greener, but that's of course not super realistic in the city centre.
