A compact studio in the Rivierenbuurt
This studio on the Vechtstraat sits in the Rivierenbuurt, a neighbourhood in Groningen's Oud-Zuid district. It's a small, efficient space, and the rent of €1,056 is well below the average for rentals in the area, which is partly because the floor area is much smaller than the typical home here.
