It has the nickname NGOville due to the presence of non-governmental organizations. Melanie Brew of the Phnom Penh Post described it as a "hip, trendy area" in 2008.[1] Brew added that "There is also a feeling for some that the area is a little bit too cosmopolitan or international and is divided or separated from the "real" Cambodia."[1]
