Auto-translated to English by AIA nice quiet neighbourhood with a green field in front of the door and trees, which is nice to enjoy and provides some greenery and oxygen right outside. A mixed composition in terms of household types, which makes it very varied. You can turn to each other for help and are always welcome for a chat! Furthermore, amenities such as a school and sports facilities in the area. Very handy! Also, it is clean with little mess or rubbish, which makes living here pleasant as well.
