I like the neighbourhood, I can be myself, privacy is okay, safety is good, at night there is some activity that I stay away from. I have lived here since 2008, that's 17 years, and I have never had a problem here, not with the people and not with the surroundings. Exception was Guus Meeuwis, my nightmare, and the big football matches, the noise is not bad but the somewhat drunk audience who have their car here or in the neighbourhood, please do not turn off the paid parking during matches. I once couldn't get into my shed. A car was parked in front. I got in, don't ask how.
