About Keizersgracht 42F, Amsterdam
Yes, it's competitive. The average rent in the neighbourhood is €3,427, so this one is 17% cheaper. However, the apartment is smaller than average (68 m² vs 120 m²), so the price per square metre is higher. For a canal-side location, it's a good deal.
The energy label is C. That's decent for a 1621 building, it means the home is reasonably efficient, but you'll still have moderate heating costs. It's not as efficient as a modern A-label, but far better than a G-label.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That's convenient for commuting to other parts of Amsterdam or further afield.
