SURROUNDINGS
The apartment enjoys a prime position on quiet Langestraat, between the Herengracht, Singel, and Brouwersgracht. Nearby streets such as Westerstraat, Haarlemmerstraat, Prinsenstraat, and Herenstraat offer a wide selection of shops, trendy boutiques, excellent restaurants, and welcoming cafés. The popular Noordermarkt—featuring vintage goods and a rich array of (organic) fresh produce—is close by. The beautifully landscaped Westerpark is just a few minutes’ cycle away and ideal for recreation. Central Station is about a 10-minute walk, putting Schiphol Airport within roughly half an hour.
