Transvaalbuurt-West, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Schalk Burgerstraat sits in the lively Transvaalbuurt-West, a neighbourhood with a real city pulse.

That makes it a notably keen entry point into Amsterdam's owner-occupied market, especially for a studio in Amsterdam.

People are not okay, they talk too much about you with lies, attack you without reason and believe what other people say about you without asking what your story is.
