It's very good and convenient to have a station train close to home. Local shops are fine, two big supermarkets not too far away from home and a small co-op close here is very helpful. I'm not sure about restaurants. There are just few restaurants in this area I really recommend. My living street It's more or less, during the weekend people in general leaves a lot of rubbish around the area but there are cleaners that come and clean it. At the weekends as well we hear some noises, people speaking until late night, drunk a lot and sometimes I don't feel really safe as a woman. This could be more controlled by polices in general for lots of reason. About parking I have not to say as I don't have a car. Bin collection are OK only people living in the building leaves the bin collection area so dirty sometimes.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The apartment is overall located in a relatively convenient area.There are plenty of shops around(including supermarkets and off-licence shops).There is also a mosque very close to the apartment which is very convenient for Muslim people.Most importantly, however,there is the seven kings station right next to the apartment, which is the major advantage in my opinion.It is not perfect however,the area right in front of the apartment is very often dirty and frequented by drunk peoples or people under the influence of drugs
