A room in the heart of Leiden
This is a room on Hooigracht 3A, in the middle of Leiden's historic centre. The listing did not state an energy label, so the rest of this page was mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €658 per month, the rent was in line with the average for rooms in Leiden. It was a social housing room, which meant the rent was set at a regulated level. This home has not been online since 13 October 2026.
