Beautiful apartment located in the Central Antwerpen, a stone throw from the hustle and bustle but on a quiet street. The apartment is a part of a 19-cent.building where the host (Bart) occupies the ground and 1st floor. 2nd floor is the apartment's living room with a kitchenette and 3rd floor contains two bedrooms and a bathroom. We felt absolutely spoiled with space: both bedrooms are spacious and the living room is massive, there's also a massive balcony with a table and chairs.
The whole place retained bags of character (beamed ceilings, original floors, windows and woodwork) but was sympathetically refurbished to modern standards. We loved being surrounded by Bart's artwork (Bart is a photo artist). However, we didn't feel like living in the art gallery: thanks to plenty of house plants, clever lighting and soft furnishings the apartment felt very cosy!
We found Bart's place very clean and well equipped; it had everything we could have wished for (even complimentary beer and soft drinks!).
Bart meets and greets his guests so we used this opportunity to get local tips from him.
Can't recommend this place enough! Thank you, Bart!
