The building dates from 1864, so you are living in a piece of Amsterdam history. This listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €2,500 per month, the rent is in line with the average for apartments in Amsterdam, though the 60 m² floor area is 31% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 87 m².
