About Paul Krugerstraat 9, Leiden
The asking price of €320,000 is 23% below the neighbourhood average of €414,800, which makes it look keen. But the studio is also 47% smaller than the average home in the area (44 m² vs 83 m²). So you're paying less for less space. The price per square metre works out at about €7,273, which is above the neighbourhood average of €6,386 per m².
The energy label is D. That's a middle-of-the-road rating, not super efficient, but not the worst either. You can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, 60% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
Leiden Centraal station is about 0.9 km away, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to get to Amsterdam, The Hague, or other cities.
The Transvaalbuurt is a dense, urban area with a young population, many students and singles.

Another describes it as "a cosy good neighbourhood" with nice people, though bikes sometimes get stolen. There's a supermarket, GP, and school within walking distance.
The listing describes it as a studio, which typically means one open-plan living/sleeping space.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that it's a studio in a 1929 building on a street in a dense neighbourhood, it's unlikely to have private outdoor space.
