The listing does not state the energy label, so that information is missing. The asking price is €525,000.

The home itself
The apartment has a living area of 51 m² according to the BAG registration. The agent has not provided further details about the layout, such as the number of rooms or bedrooms, nor about any garden, balcony, or insulation. The year of construction is 1907, a fact that stands on its own without implying anything about the condition. Because the listing is incomplete, there is little more to say about the interior; the focus here is on the location and the figures that are available.
Life in the Willibrordusbuurt
The Willibrordusbuurt is a bustling part of the city, and residents of the wider district give it an average score of 7.47 out of 10, based on four reviews. One resident says: "Lively, with a tram stop right outside and the North-South line station across the street. Albert Cuyp Market within walking distance. Supermarkets within walking distance. Lively bars and restaurants directly below the homes on this side." Another resident notes: "Sometimes nice, sometimes a lot of poverty, sometimes chaotic, sometimes ok." A third adds: "It's really a good neighbourhood. It's easily accessible by metro and tram, except at night. There's only 1 bus in the area and that one at 5 in the morning (to Schiphol) is super annoying. Furthermore, it's nicely green with parks and trees in the neighbourhood. There are also many amenities; shops, bakeries, butchers, eateries, really everything. Also, it's very safe, there are occasional burglaries but they are minor and only target shops." These reviews reflect the district as a whole, not just this specific street. The neighbourhood has 2,675 residents, with a high share of single-person households at 67%. This is a dense, urban area, and the reviews capture both its energy and its rough edges. For more on the area, see [the Willibrordusbuurt neighbourhood].
