Lively and bustling neighbourhood

Pleasant, beautiful neighbourhood with lots to see and do. Cultural visits to the many museums and parks, with plenty of cosiness from shops, cafés and restaurants. It is a lively neighbourhood, but you can also find enough peace and quiet if you need it. Public transport is available everywhere, so you can easily travel to another neighbourhood.

Above average and pleasantly composed

Everyone is very much to themselves, little contact with neighbours. I don't mind that much myself. Lots of supermarkets, shops and cafés. Very accessible by public transport, which I use very often.
