Cityhome Historic Center Antwerp

The location of this apartment was excellent - being located in the southern section of the old historic part of Antwerp. There were a number of stores close by to get groceries for meals and it was very centrally located for all historic sites to visit. It made for a very good visit.

The apartment was rather small - but I was expecting that. Also, on the plus side the upper bedroom would be a great location for early teen kids to sleep in - on the negative side, in the summer months, I am sure that it gets rather warm up there since the apartment does not have air conditioning. The only real item that could be improved is the guide book in the apartment. It could be expanded and updated to make it more relevant.

It was a quite location in the middle of the city which was perfect

The bed was a little bit small for two people but if you like each other it’s not to bed

The comfy bed

seating to watch TV was not comfy. There was no toaster in kitchen.

I stayed at the property for 7 nights, so I had a lot of time to think about this review. The location is perfect for those who want to explore the city centre as it's close to every major attraction and has very nice shops and restaurants close by. The kitchen and coffee machine were definitely an added value as they gave me the flexibility of cooking my own meals sometimes.

Unfortunately, there are some major issues with the place. Firstly, it's not very clean - the owners clean the apartments themselves and they do a shoddy job. There were crumbles on the chairs and the floor. The mattress needs replacing as it's badly worn out, and the pillow is very hard, I'm going home with a stiff neck and bad back! The overall furnishing is a bit patchy, but the worst part is the lack of black-out blinds on the kitchen windows - there is a curtain between the kitchen and sleeping area but there's a street light opposite the apartment and lots of light filters through. Blinds on the WHOLE windows (not just voile on the lower panels) would grant more privacy since the upper floors of the opposite houses can look inside the apartment. No hand soap, which I had to buy.
