The Pieterswijk neighbourhood
The Pieterswijk neighbourhood is busy but cosy, according to one resident. They describe it as right in the centre, between the three student associations, with daytime bustle from tourists and evening footfall from students.

They do mention that getting in by car can be tricky, with restrictions and detours, and that there could be more greenery. Based on this single review, it's a lively, central spot that suits those who enjoy being in the thick of it.

Frequently asked questions
About Langebrug 150, Leiden
Is €647 a fair price for this room?
The rent of €647 is below the average for rooms in the neighbourhood, which sits at €657 per month. It's also about 69% lower than the overall neighbourhood average rent of €2,078, though that figure includes larger properties. Given the 22 m² size and central location, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a room in this part of Leiden.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is F. This is an official registration from EP-Online, and it indicates the home's energy performance. Label F is on the lower end of the scale, so you can expect higher energy costs compared to more efficient homes. The label itself doesn't tell you about the condition of the building, just its official energy rating.
