Pleasantly quiet

Wonderfully free and quiet living, although the neighbourhood is deteriorating a bit due to the upkeep of the gardens. This is because fellow countrymen come to live here and they find jungles beautiful.

Nice and quiet to live, street recently renovated only the parking spaces are bad. Addressed the municipality, they are dangerous, you sprain your legs. Otherwise fine living here.

A neighbourhood where everything and everyone was crammed in before the renovation

There are certain people who are not social and want to control everything and everyone under an institution and are always protected by it, which is incomprehensible to other people. We have to separate waste, but there is always waste lying around and large waste is put out on the street, where it stays for weeks.
