Nice neighbourhood with shortcomings

I have nice neighbours and the neighbourhood is nice. The municipality falls short on cleaning, here and in the rest of Amsterdam. The dog policy is not respected at all here and also not enforced!!! My only unpleasant experience here in the neighbourhood was not really properly resolved by the police.... I don't miss the quay and find it a pity that the municipality makes the houseboat policy so ridiculously complicated.

Tourists and residents

Very nice pleasant rural greetings and you too enjoy their flowers many open spaces where you can drink coffee eat and super nice neighbourhood surroundings with water as a tourist attraction and transport. The neighbours greet the same tourists chat and ask about streets neighbourhood museums. With maritime museum also weekend visitors from other neighbourhoods tell about when they were here friends with people who are already gone. Not easy to park sometimes very busy on the road and with a shop downstairs parking spaces are if you pay. Otherwise very busy when police drive you hear the beautiful church bells children with their school teachers walking. It is picturesque sometimes you find painters with their materials. I moved a few months ago I live better because I have more air and space. Many birds nothing for nothing this neighbourhood is called the Amazon of Europe.
