Another European historic city center flat dweller. I grew up in the suburbs (small city suburban, very quiet when I was a child, and even with new buildings behind us as a teen it was quiet and calm. The closest multi-tenant building was about 600m away, the city center was only a 20-minute bus ride away). But despite the annoying churches (no place in the center where you are more than about 800m away from one), I prefer it here. Everything is in walking distance, I have the choice of almost all drugstore and supermarket chains, even specialty stores.

I don’t mind some dogs, still better than villages. My sleeping schedule is my own, if I wake up from some partying drunk kids, I go back to sleep.
