A canal-side apartment in Leiden
This apartment on the Nieuwe Rijn sits in the middle of Leiden's historic centre, with the water right outside and the city's bustle a short stroll away.

At €2,450 per month, the rent sits about 10% below the neighbourhood average of €2,724, which makes it a keen option for a central apartment. For context, apartments in Leiden vary widely in price, and this one comes in under the local norm.
