Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a fairly quiet neighbourhood close to the centre, so you can easily cycle to the shops within 5 minutes. Nice atmosphere, 5 minutes' walk to a small park and no trouble from other people.

Auto-translated to English by AIYes sometimes boring can be nice, would have preferred to live somewhere with more shops and more to do for young people, but unfortunately
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is a very nice neighbourhood! There are trees in the neighbourhood, a school and the supermarket is almost around the corner. In short, a good and pleasant neighbourhood. The only thing that could be improved is the racing on the tail by motorists who are not from this area. These motorists often come from the village and take a lap around the village.
