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 Bakkerstraat 18, Utrecht
The rent is 20% above the neighbourhood average of €2,038, but the floor area is 161% larger than the typical 99 m². So you are paying a premium for exceptional space in the city centre. Whether that feels fair depends on how much you value square metres over a lower monthly cost.
The energy label is A+, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is well-insulated and has efficient heating, so you can expect relatively low energy bills compared to older properties. The label is officially registered in EP-Online.
Residents say it is lively and busy, with noise from the street and restaurants. One review mentions noise pollution as a downside, but also notes that it is to be expected in the centre. Another resident enjoys the cosiness and bustle. If you value peace and quiet, this may not be the place for you.
