With 139 m² of space and an A energy label, the price reflects a modern, efficient home. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the central location and the recent build year.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is well insulated and has efficient heating, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older properties.

How noisy is the neighbourhood?
One resident review mentions that the area has become noisier in recent years, with increased nuisance. The review scores the neighbourhood 6 out of 10, noting that a makeover "doesn't improve anything" and that "it's very noisy and the nuisance has increased."

What is the average rent per square metre in this area?
The average rent per square metre in Binnenstad is €22.12. For this home at 139 m², that would work out to roughly €3,075 if it were priced at the average rate. At €2,600, the rent is actually below that average per-square-metre figure, which makes it relatively good value for the size.
