One possibility is khavivut:
חביבות

Peer comment(s):

neutral	oliver deutsch : "nechmadut", "toov-lev", "chavivut" - all those are synonyms that fit here. "adivut" - less. (it means courtesy, as stated above) 44 mins
	If khavivut fits, why do you enter Neutral instead of Agree? Nekhmadut=niceness, and does not fit.
