Quiet neighbourhood

Overall, I find my neighbourhood very pleasant. It's a quiet environment where I don't really have any issues. Additionally, the shops are conveniently close, which makes daily errands very easy. What I like less is that due to the parking permit system, many people park on our street. As a result, I often can't park in front of my own house, which is sometimes frustrating. Otherwise, I'm satisfied, because it remains a quiet and nice neighbourhood to live in.
