Hey everyone,
I’m starting an internship in Amsterdam this July (second time at the same company). Last year I rented a room, but the experience wasn’t great due to a bad roommate situation, so this time I’m considering getting a studio instead.
I’ll be working near Amsterdam Zuid, so ideally I’d like to live somewhere close or with a reasonable commute.
Following the 3x income rule, my maximum budget would be around €1800, but that feels a bit high to spend on rent. I was thinking more in the €1500-€1600 range, is that realistic, or am I being too optimistic given the current market?
Would you recommend trying to find a studio in Amsterdam, or should I give up and look outside the city?
Any advice from people familiar with the housing market would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance
