Generally a quiet environment

Overall a neat, quiet neighbourhood with friendly people who greet each other and help each other when needed. Hygiene is a minor issue; for a few months now you encounter rats, never seen before that.

Accessibility by public transport

I think I live in a very nice neighbourhood, and there is a very good community. The only downside to this place is the accessibility. I'm a student who still lives at home and I use public transport a lot, but the bus stops (and certainly stations) are far away from me. Without a car, it's quite difficult to get far. I hope that in the future there will be more bus stops in the area and that the connections will improve.
