De Waag, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis listing is for a rental home on the Voorstreek in Leeuwarden. The listing does not state a house number, postcode, property type, floor area, year of construction or energy label.

At €1,195 per month, the price is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €1,101, but without the floor area it is hard to say whether that is fair.
