It's a nice area to live in. The location is pleasant, but it's the centre so there's almost always noise pollution. Of course that's to be expected. However, the surroundings aren't very hygienic. In the courtyard where we live, there are many restaurants that dump their waste in the alleys. That's a shame.

About Oudegracht 127-2, Utrecht
The rent is 22% above the neighbourhood average of €2,038, but the apartment is also larger than average (100 m² vs 99 m²) and has a good energy label B. The average rent per m² in the area is €26.18, so at €24.95 per m² it's actually slightly below that benchmark. Given the historic canal location and the limited supply of rental properties in the centre, the price is in line with what similar apartments command.
The Lange Elisabethstraat, Mariaplaats en omgeving is the historic heart of Utrecht, lively, busy and full of shops and restaurants. Residents describe it as 'nice' but warn about noise pollution and hygiene issues from restaurant waste.
