By far the nicest voice and the most enchanting story.

Intriguing and not what I expected. My experience of living in German towns and villages has been the complete opposite. All windows are shrouded in curtains and drapes even those with a open view with no-one opposite to invade their privacy. I suppose it must be something to do with anonymity of the big city that permits such openness!
