    Amazing location in the centre of Brugge, close to the public car parking garage (15e per day), with no noise disturbance at night or in the early morning.

    I wouldn’t recommend apartment if you are travelling with small children - we have a one year old and found that:- 1) Because of how old the building is, apartment is single glazed so you hear everything outside - not idea for trying to put a baby to sleep. 2) Blinds in bedroom don’t keep light out - again, far from ideal for above. 3) Apartment is 1st floor, up narrow flight of stairs so taking large buggy up and down isn’t practical - while it can be done, it’s inconvenient. 4) “sofa” in living area is actually an old single bed with some pillows - mattress slips constantly & isn’t too comfortable - could do with being replaced with an actual sofa.

    Excellent location in the centre of Bruges - close to Market & Burg squares. facilities in apartment were good - two great sized bedrooms and very comfortable beds.

    The property is on 2 floors and the stairs between are extremely narrow and steep which I, in my 70s, found a bit tricky. The kitchen sink and toilet were deeply stained with limescale which I purchased bleach to remove. Bathroom sink was not draining - had to take steps to clear it. One bedside lamp not working. Lampshades throughout are of a preposterous and inconvenient size. Feather-filled duvets, which some regard as a luxury, are not good in extreme heat, are not washable and bad news for asthmatics.

    This property is really lovely and my son and I enjoyed our stay. If you want to be in the centre of Bruges, it's perfect - just off Djiver. Furnished in an interesting 'folksy' style and well equipped. Beds very comfortable.

    communication was poor being online. check in details only supplied on day of checkin. not helpful when travelling with a young family. additional charge for a pre 5pm check in is unfair. property felt a bit unloved, appreciate the vintage look but some things felt just a bit old & in need of replacement. the lamp in the green bedroom didn’t work. windows were filthy. beds not very comfortable.

    location was excellent, close to the canal & lots of lovely cafes & shops. kitchen was well equipped. toiletries were a nice touch.

    There is no good place with good light to put on one's makeup. Narrow steps up and down floors.

    Location was perfect. All sights walkable. 2 bus lines across the street. Lots of room to relax after a long day of sightseeing.

    -Street noise - you’re smack dab in the middle of the city so you have to take that into account (bring earplugs) - worth it for the location - downstairs bathroom was missing a trash bin - bedrooms had dust balls, looked like they hadn’t vacuumed - Fridge broken and couldn’t open it. Fridge was unusable which was a shame when you had perishable things such as milk to refrigerate - lighting in the kitchen/living area was rather awful

    You can’t beat the central location, this is what initially drew us to the property. The decor is very charming and the beds were extremely comfortable. We really enjoyed the Rituals products (shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, shower gel) that came with the property as well. The unit was spread throughout the 1st and 2nd floors which made it feel rather large.

    The interaction with the host is really impersonal. No way to have a direct conversation. The mark up for the check in before 17:00 is really not kind

    Heating system broken For February in -1 to -3 C this was unacceptably cold and we ended up sitting under duvets in the living room to keep warm Followed all the thermostat instructions and couldn’t get radiators on.No answer on the phone when we called Left several written messages via the website Not fixed until second night:was told “there was an error on the new boiler”Had read other reviews mentioning heating issues so was hopeful it wouldn’t be an issue for our trip Unfortunately it was.I responded to an email from the property Management company sent afterwards requesting feedback from us about our stay to explain the issue and how it negatively impacted our trip.No response.I also separately emailed their head office.No response.

    Excellent location a lot of major attractions within walking distance

    The apartment was confined and stuffy and the bathroom was totally unventilated and smelly. It was extremely hot, with only 1 fan, so the upstairs was totally unusable. We even had a small number of bed bugs. They charged extra for linen(!) and for a check-in before 5, which is just ridiculous. When I told them about this, they just said 'thanks for the feedback'.

    The location was lovely

    The management company. They tried to charge extra for things like sheets and towels! And even more for putting sheets on the beds!! Also beware the deposit (refundable) or what they call, insurance. With of course a 50€ non refundable registration!

    lovely property centrally located. Great for 2 or 4 people
