About Busken Huëtstraat 50, Haarlem
The rent is 31% above the neighbourhood average of €2,281, so it's on the high side. However, the house is a spacious mid-terrace with 94 m² and a garden plot of 82 m², which is larger than many rentals in the Potgieterbuurt. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the pre-war character.
