Wout’s place was perfect! It is beautiful, clean, very well equipped, lots of thoughtful touches, breakfast items provided, and comfortable. Wout lives upstairs, but you have the downstairs areas to yourselves. You have a private room with a small toilet room and kitchen (with keyed entry). The private shower/bathroom is located separately from your keyed private room off the main corridor/entry. This room doesn’t require a key to enter but can be locked from the inside. There is also another door off the common corridor to enter your private patio. We definitely felt like we had our privacy and never even saw the owner. We loved having a clothes washer (located in the shower room) since we were traveling for 10 days in Belgium. We were able to pack less since we had an opportunity to wash clothes the couple of nights we were staying here. Wout was very communicative, helped us find close parking (Indigo National Bank parking garage - 8 min walk from the apartment), and puts lots of thought and care into running his rental. We appreciated that the unit was close to the historic center, but quieter, less hectic, more peaceful, and more residential than staying directly in the center. There are lots of good restaurants and bars near the apartment… many which we wanted to visit, but didn’t have time to. We did have dinner at an amazing Syrian restaurant called Dilbi just a few minutes walk away. Don’t miss it! It’s best to make a reservation. Some other recommended places that we wanted to go for drinks/to eat near the apartment, but didn’t have a chance to were BelRoy’s Bijou (cocktail bar), Cafe Baron (popular bar overlooking
Marnixplaats), Tannin (wine bar), Takumi Ramen Kitchen,
Tamo (Thai), Visbistro Mojo (seafood).
