Bakenes, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Damstraat is right in the middle of the historic centre, surrounded by the buzz of the city. The listing does not state an energy label, so the exact energy performance is unknown. At €2,950 per month, the rent is 41% above the neighbourhood average of €2,098, partly because the 43 m² floor area is 41% smaller than the typical 73 m² in the area, so you're paying a premium for the compact size and central location.
