Two residents describe it as "a vibrant area with world-class museums and restaurants on your doorstep" and "convenient for everything, but can be touristy".

About Keizersgracht 333C, Amsterdam
The asking price is 47% below the neighbourhood average of €2,047,568, but the apartment is also 49% smaller than the average (86 m² vs 168 m²). The price per m² works out to about €12,500, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €13,167. Given the prime canal location and the smaller size, the price is in line with the market.
The energy label is D. For a 1710-built canal house, this is typical, many historic buildings in the area have labels D or lower. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home, but the character and location often compensate.
