About Koninginneweg 231-3, Amsterdam
The rent is 19% above the neighbourhood average of €3,586, but the apartment is also 52% larger than the typical 82 m² in Valeriusbuurt-West. At €34 per m², it is below the neighbourhood average of €45 per m², so you are getting more space for a relatively lower per-square-metre price. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra room.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the apartment is not energy-efficient, so heating costs are likely to be high, especially in winter. The building dates from 1884, so it may have single glazing and poor insulation. Budget accordingly for higher utility bills.
