Very good. Rubbish could be better. Furthermore, you are close to the city and shops. Bus stop is also nearby. Station is at most 15 minutes away.

About Willem Lodewijkstraat 131, Leeuwarden

It's a lively but not noisy area, with good access to public transport.
The train station is 1.2 km away, about a 15-minute walk according to a resident. That's a comfortable distance, close enough for a daily commute but not so close that you'd hear the trains.

Energy label C means the home is reasonably efficient, better than the 20% of homes in the neighbourhood with label D or lower. You won't face extreme heating bills, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. The house was built in 1910, so some insulation improvements may have been made.
