Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is cosy and people look out for each other, but I do think there is a lot of rubbish lying outside and that animals then plunder it, making the streets dirty. Also, I don't always feel very safe at night. Furthermore, bikes are stolen very often, which I think is a shame; I've already lost 4 this year. There are plenty of amenities and you can find everything. I might have preferred more green spaces, but also more housing, so that's a trade-off you have to make.
