This rental apartment on Werengouw sits in a neighbourhood that blends urban convenience with green calm. One resident describes it as 'a charming mix of urban and green elements, with wide avenues and tall trees'. The apartment itself was 59 m² with an A energy label, so running costs should be manageable.
