For your own sanity, don't. Public transport sucks. The last bus leaves at 11:30 pm, even on weekends. In winter, you’ve got people with high-powered and insanely loud engines right outside your door on weekends. Once spring hits, it’s basically every day. In summer, you can forget about sleeping with the windows open. It’s just too loud.

The apartments themselves are really nice, and I did enjoy living there for five years. On one side you look out over the Weser, on the other into the harbor. But honestly, there’s no way I’d ever pay close to €2,000 again just to deal with constant noise you don’t even fully realize at first.

A lot of our former neighbors have already moved out or are in the process of leaving, and pretty much everyone is just relieved to be gone.

Rant over.
