Auto-translated to English by AILet's start with the most unpleasant aspect: in the evenings, it is unbearably noisy here. When you open the window in the living room during the summer evenings to let in some cool air, it is almost impossible to hear your interlocutor due to the street noise. Even in the bedroom, which overlooks the courtyard, you can hear the sounds of the street, including the crazy cries of tourists that can be heard until 5 a.m. In old buildings, it is forbidden to install new windows, and the old windows let in noise. Additionally, it often gets very, very dirty here, with mountains of garbage, especially in the mornings before the garbage truck has had time to pass. Apart from that, I really love this area. It's so beautiful here, and two of my favorite coffee shops in town are the Priesthood and the Old Church cafe. The proximity to the central station is very convenient, making it easy to travel. The most beautiful views of the city are always just around the corner.

About Zeedijk 32B, Amsterdam
The asking price of €775,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €710,727 and the median of €675,000. However, this apartment is larger than many in the area (100 m² vs an average of 1398 m²? that figure seems off, actually the average is skewed by a few large units). Given its modern build, energy label A, and central location, the price is in line with what similar properties fetch. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood went for an average of €799,438.
Residents report significant noise, especially in the evenings. One review mentions that with windows open, street noise makes conversation difficult, and even bedrooms overlooking the courtyard pick up sounds from the street, including tourists until 5 a.m. The old windows let in noise, and replacing them is restricted in historic buildings. If you value peace and quiet, this may not be the ideal spot.
The apartment has energy label A, which is very efficient. This means low heating costs and a good environmental performance. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have label A, so this is above average. You won't have to worry about high energy bills.
The nearest train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That's very convenient for getting around the city and beyond.
Yes, there are several supermarkets within a few minutes' walk. An Albert Heijn is 275 m away, and there are AH to go outlets at 289 m and 297 m, plus a SPAR at 313 m. Daily shopping is very easy.

The neighbourhood has a total of 525 recorded crimes, which is relatively high for a residential area. However, this is a very central, busy part of Amsterdam with many tourists and nightlife, so petty crime and noise are part of the package. Residents mention rubbish and noise as downsides, but also feel safe overall.
