We were very pleased with the location of the apartment.
It was also quite clean on the whole. Except for small details like the towel dryer in the bathroom.
From the photos with the lush plants and slightly different colours of the curtains, sofas, armchair (it was only there in the photos) etc, we assumed the accommodation was a personal one. And that's what we love about Airbnb.
When we arrived, we saw that the flat looked slightly different in terms of furnishings and design than in the pictures. The photos are no longer up to date. It has a cooler design now. But it is visible that nevertheless an effort was made to make it look "homely" and somewhat charming with a few accessories and the opluent Chinese coffee table. On site, when we checked in and entered the staircase/apartment, we realised that it is a mass accommodation business.
Probably most of the guests eat out in the many pubs and restaurants, because there was only one huge pot available, so the second small cooker top could not be used. Two very large pans were also available. A stainless steel pan and an aluminium pan with a broken coating (warning: harmful to health). There are beds for up to 6 people. But you can only cook for them with one pot OR one pan at a time. Scrambled eggs or porridge for breakfast, perhaps. The equipment is sufficient for that. (No more than that, one-pot pasta or something like that maybe).
We would have been better off taking a pair of scissors with us, as there were none to be found on site. Tip for the next tenants: Take scissors with you or ask for them. Also a colander for the functional kitchen equipment would be an advantage. Perhaps you can add both. (... and a small pot as a plus for the next ones.?)
Nevertheless, we think for the target group it is probably made for, it is quite nice for a weekend in Antwerp.
