Living in Jacob Catsstraat and surroundings, Dordrecht

Jacob Catsstraat and surroundings is a quiet, working-class neighbourhood in the heart of Oud Krispijn, one of the older districts of Dordrecht.

It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for spectacular architecture, but rather for a certain tranquillity and recognisability.
