Life on the street
The Rijnsburgerweg itself is a typical student street, with bikes parked outside and the rhythm of lectures and study sessions. For daily groceries, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with an AH to go and an Aldi. For schools, De Leidse Houtschool is a couple of streets away, and the Bonaventura Lyceum Mariënpoelstraat is a ten-minute walk. The train station is 1.6 km away, so Leiden Centraal is a manageable walk or a short bike ride, and the municipality of Leiden has everything else you might need within easy reach.
