The rent is above the average of €1,787 for rentals in the Binnenstad, and also above the median of €1,750. The apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average, at 68 m² versus 97 m², so the price per square metre is higher. The central location and the A+ energy label are likely factors in the asking rent. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value living right in the centre.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A+, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared with less efficient homes.

How big is this apartment?
The apartment has a floor area of 68 m². That is about 30% smaller than the average for rentals in the Binnenstad, which is 97 m².
