For context, that's also well under the median of €369,000, making it a relatively affordable entry into the local market. If you're looking at apartments in Leiden, this one stands out on price.

The neighbourhood is quite simple along a road, and there are often students outside in the evenings. It is reasonably safe as long as all doors remain closed.
