WG-terrein, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 55 m² apartment on the Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat sits in the heart of Amsterdam Oud-West.

Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience in the neighbourhood as a 21-year-old student is limited because I don't need to be there much; I would like to be more in touch with the neighbourhood, but that might be down to me, I don't know how. School and the facilities are pleasant and I feel at ease when I walk around.
