Herengracht 13
Havenwijk-Zuid, Leiden
NeighbourhoodA studio on the Herengracht
This studio on the Herengracht sits in one of Leiden's most historic canals. At 41 m² it's compact, but the A+ energy label means low heating costs, a rare find in a 1750 building. The rent of €1,495 is on the high side for a studio, but that reflects the prime canal location. For context, studios in Leiden average higher, though this one is smaller than most.
