Auto-translated to English by AII have a trusted experience with this neighbourhood. It's cosy but also wonderfully quiet. No nuisance or loud music. It's very clean here and many families live here. I really enjoy living here, where you're not quite in the city but still central enough to get places. We also have a shopping centre with plenty of choice in shops! There are more children living here, so I can't comment on education. It's a very safe, child-friendly neighbourhood with playgrounds for the kids!
