It's a friendly neighbourhood. The neighbours are nice, we help each other and if something happens, everyone knows about it, so it's a very pleasant neighbourhood except for the children of today who shout and swear and open your parcels. But otherwise it's a nice neighbourhood. But when it comes to rubbish, it's really bad, the council does little to keep the waste tidy. They need to clear the rubbish more often.
Auto-translated to English by AISafety is paramount here. Everyone is super social. Hygiene is top. Great place to live. Education is excellent and attentive. Everywhere is green, beautiful spots, playgrounds, centres and nice little shops. Everything is accessible by tram, bus, walking is also nice and beautiful in terms of nature.
