About J.J. Viottastraat 1, Amsterdam
The rent of €7,950 is 47% above the neighbourhood average of €5,420, but the home is also 28% larger than average (176 m² vs 138 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €45, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €41. Given the size, location and energy label C, the rent is on the high side but reflects the premium for a spacious townhouse in the Museumkwartier.
The home has energy label C. This is a reasonable rating for a 1925 townhouse, meaning it has some insulation but is not as efficient as a modern home. You can expect moderate heating costs, but nothing extreme. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, with many older buildings still on D or E.
