Polished transcript:

Male Female

I moved to my current place in April of 2023. So it's been almost a year and a half now. It's been a really nice place to live because it's only a ten-minute walk to the office and it's surrounded by trees, making it very quiet and peaceful. The only thing missing is perhaps more cafes and restaurants nearby. But that's okay because I can take a tram and be in a very central location in 15 minutes. Overall, I really enjoy living here.
