Great place to live

You write that the house at Geert van Woustraat 2 is 132 square metres, but that's not correct; it's actually much larger, 180 square metres in total. Great place to live, quiet neighbourhood and well maintained.

Fine

Many children playing, which can cause dangerous situations. Otherwise very safe and hygienic. But (almost) no amenities
