My neighbourhood is in the centre of Leiden, so everything is close by. I also think it's beautiful. Unfortunately, there is a lack of nature. You occasionally see a tree, but you can't really call it green. Some initiative in this regard would be a good improvement. I am satisfied with almost all other aspects. For example, the supermarket, pharmacy and GP are nearby, and the underground waste bins are very convenient. The only other downside is that there is often a lot of noise from students and partygoers, but nothing unexpected. It's also true that there isn't really a strong neighbourhood feel. There are a few neighbours with whom we occasionally have a drink, but I don't even speak to the majority. This can be attributed to the fact that many students live here and is therefore not a serious drawback for me.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here two months ago and am very satisfied. I am within a few minutes' walk of the beautiful centre of Leiden. The station is also nearby and everything can be visited by bus. I don't feel unsafe when I come home late at night, as the neighbourhood is lively and so far there are no weird types around. In terms of nature, it could be better, but you can't expect that in the middle of a city. Fortunately, you only have to cycle or run a short distance to discover nature. It's a shame there is so little housing, while so many students are looking for a room, because I would definitely recommend the neighbourhood.

Marewijk is a lively, densely populated area in the centre of Leiden, with a very high address density of over 6,000 per km². It's popular with students and young people, nearly 40% of residents are between 15 and 25. Residents appreciate the proximity to shops, the station and the city centre, but note that it can be noisy and lacks green space.
Leiden Centraal station is 1.7 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, you won't face sky-high energy bills, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-label home. The building dates from 1750, so some heat loss is to be expected.
Yes, Albert Heijn is just 186 metres away, so you can pop out for groceries in a couple of minutes. SPAR, Dirk and Dekamarkt are all within 600,700 metres.
At 37 m², this is a studio, essentially one open space with a separate bathroom. It's perfectly fine for a single person or a very minimalist couple, but you won't have separate bedrooms.
