I live in a noisy house myself and have a lot of noise from the neighbours. Which is why I'm looking for another house. But apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood here. With many nationalities living together in one neighbourhood. There are many activities for all ages. And there are many educational locations in my neighbourhood. But in my flat, there are also people who unfortunately just throw rubbish down from their window. As a result, there are food scraps behind the houses near the storage units and on the roof of the storage units.

About Aelbrechtskade 17B01, Rotterdam
The rent of €2,020 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €1,907 and the median of €1,980. However, the apartment is 66 m², which is smaller than the average of 96 m² in the area. The price per square metre comes to about €30.61, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €23.24 per m². So it's on the high side for the size.
The energy label is C, which is reasonably efficient. You can expect moderate energy costs, though not as low as with an A or B label. The building dates from 1927, so insulation may not be as modern as newer homes, but label C indicates it meets current standards.
