Mauritsstraat 249N
Cool, Rotterdam
AreaA compact studio in the heart of Rotterdam
This studio on Mauritsstraat sits in the middle of Rotterdam's lively Cool neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the city's energy. At 21 m² it was a compact home, and the last known rent of €1,315 was 34% below the neighbourhood average of €1,995, which put it on the keen side for the area. The building dates from 1874 and carries an energy label D. For context, this was one of the [studios in Rotterdam]( /huurwoningen/rotterdam/studios/ ) at the time available to rent. This home has not been online since 29 September 2026.

It is a busy, central spot rather than a quiet retreat, and the mix of opinions reflects that. For more on the area, see [the Cool neighbourhood]( /buurt/cool-rotterdam/ ).
Life on the street

The central station is about a ten-minute walk, and the whole of [the municipality of Rotterdam]( /gemeente/rotterdam/ ) is on your doorstep.

Was €1,315 a fair rent for this studio?
The rent of €1,315 sat 34% below the neighbourhood average of €1,995, and the average price per square metre in Cool was €25.03. Given the compact 21 m² floor area, the price was on the keen side compared with other rentals in the area.
