The CBS recorded 125 total crimes in Grote Kerkbuurt. That's a relatively high number for a small area, but it's a city centre with many shops, bars and people, so some of that is petty crime. The area is lively and well-frequented.
The plot is 56 m², but the listing does not mention a garden. Given that it's a terraced house in the city centre, any outdoor space is likely to be a small courtyard rather than a full garden.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 166 m² over several floors, it's likely to have at least three, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
