Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is an oasis of calm, inhabited by true Leideners. It is very centrally located, close to Leiden Central and the centre of Leiden. Despite the central location, the neighbourhood is remarkably quiet. The people here are very private and reserved; I don't know my neighbours well. Although greenery is lacking in the neighbourhood, there is a playground. All in all, the neighbourhood offers a quiet environment, despite the limited social interaction and the lack of green spaces.
