There is a smell when you first enter the unit. We noticed it on and off over the week. It was never too strong or lingered too long that it became uncomfortable. They are doing construction nearby and that may be the cause. Yes the stairs to the 3rd floor are steep but just move slowly.

The host was excellent. He responded quickly to any questions and was helpful with suggestions. The location was fantastic. The pictures are exactly like the unit. Great water pressure on the shower. It's not the fanciest of places but for the price I was impressed.

Instructions for turning on the airconditioner would have been helpful and the shower floor is extremely slippery when wet. Nothing that the owners can do, but the stairs will be difficult for some guests due to the steepness of the top floor stairs.

The location was excellent and easy entry into the property

To reach the top floor bedroom you need to climb an almost vertical flight of stairs. To climb up safely I had be on all four. It was impossible to carry my suitcase to the room so I could only bring the essentials separately. Also, for an apartment of this size I'd hope there's a washing machine as there are no laundromat nearby.

Great location, it's just across the river from the popular Vismarkt. Very modern facilities. Lots of space. It's a decently sized apartment.

2nd top bedroom stairs not very safe, my sister and partner slept on safa, no parking available, no direction for driving as one way system a nightmare needs to be addressed

Overall the apartment was great. Loved the downstairs, facilities and courtyard. Location for shops and centre of Mechelen brilliant

stairs on the up floor was challenging, that is the only minus, hard to use and dangerous

everything was clean, good location, easy approach, few minutes walking from parking, in the city center

Steep stairs to second floor. Not an issue for us but to take into account when older / young kids

Lovely house. In the middle of the city center

really hard to reach the room on the 3rd floor

great position, beautiful city centre

1.The steps to the second bedroom and I understand there is nothing that can be done about that. 2.The intermittent smell. 3.It would be good to have some instructions about how to use the heating and appliances.

Very good central location and very quiet. Close to centre. Clean and comfortable.

There is always something to complain about if you do your best, but why should I? I think it is not fair to do so, especially when quality exceeds pricing level. So I will keep my mouth shut on this topic!

Location is perfect! on walking distance from the city center and Public Parking Really would like to know where the shost has bought the matrasses! :-) Perfect spot for my future business trips to Mechelen, I will be back!

The stairs to the upper floor are very dangerous.

Not the hosts fault: not sure if I would book this place again with small children in tow; couple of small steps at the entrance (little fiddly with pram), very steep staircase to second floor (a tad adventurous for a 4 year old), staircase and top floor ceiling height a little low for very tall people (me: 5'11, husband 6'7).

Looks newly renovated / fresh, great communication by the host resulting in a relaxed arrival. Lovely little touches (bottle of bubbles on arrival, cot set up, Aircon turned on before arrival ensuring a cool arrival on a hot day). Could not have wished for more.

We found some trash didn't remove out. Dirty dishes still in the dishwasher and some drinks left from the previous guset in the fridge.

The location is very good, just in the middle of the city.

Staircase.to bedroom 2 is very steep.

A clean and spacious apartment, well located.

Terrible smell of sewage throughout the house. Owner did not want to solve the problem and suggested this is long term problem. If we had known about this smell we would not have made the booking. Potential customers beware.

Great location

The horrible smell of sewers that engulfed the house made me run away. Owner apologized that it is due to constructions nearby but no way it is acceptable for guests.

Nice apartment and furnitures . Bathroom cleaned and bed quite ok

Stayed in March 2024

there was a strong damp smell probably coming from the basement and we kept window open to survive the smell. The smell was very strong on the first floor, but it was also coming to the bedrooms especially the 3rd floor bedroom which has no doors (just stairs). When rains stopped the smell became milder, but still could not close the window. We wrote about to the host, but there was no answer. Actually, host did not respond to any of our question or request

I received a code for the key locker. so, it was super easy to enter the house. The house was clean, the bedrooms were good, the house has its private small yard which was nice,

Great location. Great place! Easy and uncomplicated. Yes the stairs are steep but I am blind and my partner has a broken leg and we took our time and it was fine and not a problem. So ignore any previous negative remarks in reviews. It's Flanders! Stairs are steep all over cos of the houses.

The staircase to the second bedroom in the attic is very steep. Very cosy, but without a door ( which in reality doesn't matter)

Very good location close to the centre. Very clean and well equipped. Everything seems to be new. Very quiet. There is even a little yard where you can sit outside - however without any plants or greenery ( probably yet to come). Mechelen is a good base to discover the area by bike or to visit Antwerp or Brussels ( by train).

The location is perfect.

Sadly, during our stay, the house had a terrible smell in it at various points during the day, making the property uninhabitable for the time of the smell. I messaged the owner on the first day as I was worried about a gas leak, but he did not answer. We had visitors at the house who assured us that it was not gas but sewage that we could smell. I reported again to the owner who did nothing but said that he would get back to us after we left. He did not. I contacted him after the stay, inviting him to refund some of the fees owing to the smell. He came back to me, denying that there was a smell and accusing me of blackmail. I am afraid, therefore, that I would caution anyone against staying at the property until the owner can assure people that he has rectified the problem with the drains and until he has improved his attitude to his clients.

This is a very nice house in a very nice position in a lovely town. It is well equipped, warm and very comfortable.
