Located in one of the most beautiful places in the heart of Leiden, outside the nightlife but close to everything that makes living in the city center so attractive. You are within walking distance of the city center with shops, restaurants, museums and various supermarkets. Both the A4 and A44 to Amsterdam and The Hague are easily accessible, as well as public transport and Leiden station. Almost all city and regional buses pass through the city center of Leiden. Every few minutes there is a bus to Leiden Central Station, from where you can travel to The Hague and Schiphol within fifteen minutes and to Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht in less than half an hour.

The historic city center of Leiden is the second largest in the Netherlands and is known for its rich history with old canals, city gates, no fewer than 88 bridges, mills, small alleys, courtyards, a castle, Singel Park, museums and much more. Here you will find all kinds of urban facilities together in a compact area. And did you know that Leiden has the most water flowing through its gates after Amsterdam; a total of 28 kilometers of canals. It is not without reason that Leiden ranks third among the most attractive cities to live this year (Source: annual study 'Atlas for municipalities' by research agency Atlas Research, May 2023).
