A lively pied-à-terre on the Oude Rijn
This rental apartment on the Oude Rijn sits right in the heart of Leiden, where the city buzzes with students, cafés and canals.

The last known rent of €1,509 was keen compared with the neighbourhood average of €2,044, 26% below it, and there were only five rental homes at the time available in Marewijk, so supply was tight.
