Very nice living in this neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy neighbourhood with plenty of amenities. There is little to no nuisance and I feel safe. The only thing I miss is more nature within walking distance and perhaps a restaurant or terrace to sit at. Otherwise, everything is nearby. If I want to walk in nature now, it's a short walk or we have to drive to a place by car.
Auto-translated to English by AIAs a student you don't notice much, but it seems like a pleasant neighbourhood to live in later as an adult.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've lived here for almost 45 years and feel fine and safe, although a lot has changed over time. Not all for the better either. But hey, that's life, isn't it. It is and remains an old neighbourhood, our neighbourhood, our home.
