Good

The centre of Sittard offers plenty of amenities within walking distance of the apartment, but a bit of nature is also just a stone's throw away. The station is just around the corner, which means there is a bit more traffic around the house. This does not cause any further nuisance. It is a safe environment where most people take good care of a tidy neighbourhood. In short, a very nice place to live.
