This room on Hogewoerd 43 sits in the lively Levendaal-Oost neighbourhood, right in the middle of Leiden's historic centre. At 53 m², it was a generous room with its own front door, and the last known rent of €771 was well below the average for rooms in Leiden. In fact, it was about 60% cheaper than the neighbourhood average of €1,941, so it was keenly priced for what you get. This home has not been online since 13 August 2026.
