NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Schepenstraat sits in the leafy Blijdorp neighbourhood, where the Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp are just a stroll away. With 118 m² of living space, it is noticeably roomier than the average home in the area.

Auto-translated to English by AIit's a nice neighbourhood, right next to Vroesepark! In my opinion, there's not much to do for young people, for that you have to go to the city centre.
