If you want to visit Antwerp and be near the city center and shopping district with quiet lodging, this is the place! It would be tough to find better value than this!
I spent a lot of time with friends who live south of the city center, and we were consistently amazed that it was a 5 min bike ride to them. It was like a dream how close and easy it was. Everywhere we wanted to go: climbing gyms, havenhuis, the west side river, they were all within 15 min walking or a 20 min bike ride for some things along the city outskirts.
Remote workers! The wifi was strong and allowed for remote working 8 hours a day. If you plan to do that here the chairs could be a bit rough to sit on for that long, so doubling up on cushions they provide helps!
If you’re planning a long stay and trying to cook in Antwerp, this is the place too. The induction stove was such a nice surprise! We were able to cook so quickly and well because of how fast things heated up!
Some small updates could be done to make this place really shine as there are some old appliances and deferred maintenance that may or may not be bothersome.
Maud & Paul we’re kind - they provided us with an additional key and the neighbors were engaged to help us with some fixes when we requested. It was nice to have requests taken care of within a few days.
Overall we were very happy we selected this place as it was a great home base to explore the city for 28 days while we had to work throughout the trip too!
Thanks Maud & Paul!
