Auto-translated to English by AIOften fun things to do, but also negative ones, like the bin shelter being closed off, now we (60) have to walk with our rubbish..
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've been living here for 20 years and are very happy. Reasonably quiet, shops and public transport nearby, nice neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AINever wanted to live here, but now I'm so happy. Nice people. Nice neighbours. You ask what could be better, well very simple: open that one road again for everyone, now it's only for bus and taxi, and you have to drive around and know the way. Very hard for visitors to find.
