This bright and refurbished 1-bedroom apartment is ideally located at Vijf Meiplein, also known as the Luifelbaan shopping center.

Not to mention that the historic city center of Leiden is just around the corner, giving you access to every imaginable amenity. Major roads such as the N206 (towards the beach), A4, and A44 are also close by. In short, this is a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers, city lovers, or anyone who enjoys having everything within easy reach.
