If you do not want to be cooked alive (our stay was on august, 33 degrees of celsius), smell mould all night and go to t

Nice location

The description of the accommodation is very inaccurate. It does NOT have a private bathroom (as I booked) - the bathroom is in the public hall, so you need to go there in your towels/ slippers throughout the public hall to reach it. The equipment in the room (bed, wardrobe) looked quite ancient (there is a nice new TV though), there was a really strong smell of mould. On top of that, it is not possible to open windows more then a few cm, as they are secured with a lock. So, If you do not want to be cooked alive (our stay was on august, 33 degrees of celsius), smell mould all night and go to the bathroom through public space, I do not recommend it.

Great location and perfect lodging for a short stay

Location was really good; close to restaurants, bars, tram stop, museums, but still on a quiet street. Bed was extremely comfortable, and the accomodation was spotlessly clean! Would definitely stay here again

3.0 / 10.0

Uncomfortable and stressful state due to significant issues with cleanliness and privacy

The bed was comfy, and the location is great—close to interesting cafés and bars, and within walking distance of the Old Town. The host also allowed me to leave my things before check-in, as an earlier check-in wasn't possible.

Unfortunately, my stay had several significant downsides. Firstly, the host kindly allowed me to leave my luggage early, what was great. Upon arrival, I received complicated instructions for multiple locks, some of which were confusing and inconvenient to remember, especially considering a short stay. The host requested additional time for cleaning due to personal circumstances, pushing my check-in from 3 PM to 4 PM. However, the room wasn't ready until 4:20 PM. Despite the delay, the cleanliness was disappointing. Upon entering, I found someone else's shirt in the wardrobe, a dirty cloth left behind, unsanitary toilet conditions, hair on the sink, and stained towels. Overall, the hygiene was below acceptable standards. A significant inconvenience was that the bathroom and toilet were not private—they were located separately, accessible only through a shared corridor. This layout greatly compromised privacy and comfort. Moving to and from these facilities required wearing outdoor shoes, as indoor footwear was not mentioned beforehand, creating further discomfort. The host thoroughly explained external locks but neglected instructions for securing the bathroom, leaving me unsure how to lock the door and uncomfortable about using the facilities freely. Additionally, despite Wi-Fi being advertised, no access information was provided upfront, requiring additional contact with the host. The lack of basic amenities like a trash bin in the room and the unexpected restriction of kitchen access without prior notice further diminished my comfort, particularly when I fell ill and couldn’t even prepare basic tea. Had these conditions been clearly communicated beforehand, I might have reconsidered my choice. Overall, these unaddressed inconveniences significantly impacted my sense of comfort, privacy, and security, making my stay stressful and unsatisfactory.

Walked into hell

The property was not as described and very disappointing. When we arrived at 4:11PM, the facilities were still being cleaned and the kitchen was a mess. I booked this place over a month in advance and had contact with the host the week of our visit. This should not have been a surprise to him. We left the property 4 hours after we arrived and one of those hours was spent on the phone to booking.com. The cleaner left just before we did, to give you an idea of the disorganisation. The rooms are not soundproof and the bathroom is not private. It does not lock. The room is located by the front door and you have to walk through the foyer and shared staircase to get to the bathroom and toilet. The kitchen is shared with the host (surprise!) and we were informed that we wouldn't have access to this area until the evening or the next morning. I got the impression from the host that really, we weren't welcome to use this area at all. The host was temperamental. He accused us of leaving a door unlocked - as we were going through it - although he admitted that he never told us about this "rule"! He threatened us with a camera he had pointed at the door? We proceeded to ask him about the inaccuracy of his listing. He admitted to using AI to generate the listing and took no responsibility his oversight and lying. This type of listing really should not be allowed on booking.com. There are a few negative reviews that I didn't see when I booked it as I was blinded by the high rating. Trust what they say. If you are considering staying here, I highly recommend that you carefully consider what you are getting yourself into.

It was a real pleasure to stay here

What a kind and warm host! And what a beautiful place to stay in. It is clean, the room is well appointed and the bed is extremely comfortable. The shower room is very modern and chic, with excellent-quality fittings.

An outstanding stay in a beautiful mansion. A civilised and educated guest will feel right at home. The place is best suited to such people. Host is extremely cultured and exquisitely courteous.

Beautiful accommodation with a lovely, welcoming host.

The property is a beautiful old building built in the early 1900’s. It has been lovingly restored by the host and is warm, comfortable accommodation with all the amenities you will need. The kitchen and bathroom aren’t directly attached the bedroom however the guests have exclusive access to the kitchen and bathroom which are the only other rooms on the first floor. You will just share a front door and hallway with the host. The host, Alex, is incredibly welcoming and full of all sorts of fascinating information. We enjoyed a lovely cup of tea and a biscuit upon my arrival. The property is in a great location with easy access via tram from the city centre. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Perhaps a lock on the bedroom door might make some people feel more secure if you have tradesmen working on the property and using the front door.

We hadden er echt ietscsn verwacht maar het was zeer teleurstellend.

De locatie

Het was heel erg gehorig. Weinig privacy. Geen eigen wc - badkamer op de kamer. We moesten de schroeven van het bed aandraaien.

We hebben een fantastisch verblijf gehad in een mooi huis in een leuke buurt.

De hele benedenverdieping bestaande uit een keuken, douche, apart toilet en een slaapkamer, stond voor ons ter beschikking. Het is een prachtig oud pand met alle mooie kenmerken, zoals de mozaïek vloer en hoge plafonds. Een tip voor de volgende bezoekers, neem sloffen mee want alle ruimtes zijn te bereiken via een centrale hal. Verder is de host erg behulpzaam en aardig. Er zijn leuke ontbijt/ lunch gelegenheden op loopafstand.

Er was niets dat tegenviel. Wij hadden zelf geen sloffen mee en moesten daarom steeds schoenen aan buiten de slaapkamer dat was misschien wat onhandig.

Bovenste verdieping in hippe (buiten)wijk

Het is een mooi gebouw in een hippe wijk, buiten het centrum (30min van Antwerpen centraal lopen). Voelt prettig. We hadden volgens de eigenaar een upgrade van de kamer gekregen - op de bovenste verdieping, dus veel trappen - en in de praktijk was dat links een slaapkamer en badkamer en rechts (extra) een keuken en woonkamer die we ook mochten gebruiken. Prima allemaal.

Het was volgens de eigenaar een upgrade, maar (de foto's van) de kamer op onze origineel geboekte kamer zag er ruimer uit. De slaapkamer/badkamer die we nu hadden was prima, alleen hadden we een lauwe douche en bleef het badkamerlicht samen met een afzuiger automatisch twee/drie minuten aan, na gebruik. Met name in de nacht niet echt leuk. De gekozen schuifdeur sloot niet helemaal ook, en dat is bij toiletbezoek niet echt handig. Dus warm water, een gewone deur en een losse knop voor licht en afzuiging is beter.

Prima verblijf, aardige host.

Er was geen ontbijt. Alleen een Nespresso apparaat En 2 flesjes water

We hadden er niet aan gedacht dat de badkamer en toilet op de gang waren. Niet echt een probleem, alles was zo schoon en netjes.

Muy recomendable

Me encantó el trato de Alex. La casa y la habitación fenomenal. Todo muy limpio, amplio y espacioso. Muy accesible en tren desde cualquier punto de la ciudad. Tambien valoré mucho el barrio y el silencio. Ideal para descansar y pasar unos días en amberes. Sin duda, si regreso a Amberes me volvería a hospedar en este alojamiento.

Tolle Unterkunft für einen Städtetrip!

Super freundlicher und zuvorkommender Gastgeber! Gute Lage, man ist sehr schnell zu Fuß in der Altstadt an allen Hotspots. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Toilette und Dusche sind zwei getrennte Räume, was ebenfalls praktisch ist. Die Toilette ist recht eng, Dusche und ein großes Waschbecken dafür sehr geräumig. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen!

Bei warmen Wetter kann es durchaus heiß und stickig werden, auch wenn das Zimmer im Erdgeschoss liegt. Das Haus ist ein Altbau und dementsprechend vermutlich nicht perfekt gedämmt. Dieses Problem wird aber auf die meisten Unterkünfte zutreffen.

Sentiment global d’inconfort

La maison est belle, particulièrement l’escalier Échange intéressant avec le propriétaire sur l’histoire de la maison. Propreté irréprochable

Toilette et salle de bain (qui ne fermait pas) sur le palier Sentiment inconfortable de devoir sortir dans l’entrée pour se laver les dents, avec passages du propriétaire. Chambre en RDC sans vue, contre la porte d’entrée. À ce prix là c’était décevant

Je recommande vivement!

L’hôte m’a accordé un accueil chaleureux en dépit de mon arrivée tardive, due au fait que ma voiture était tombée en panne. Il m’a même offert de la soupe et un thé des plus parfumés. La chambre est fort agréable, et grâce au lit et très confortable, j’ai dormi comme un loir. Cet établissement est très hygiénique. Tout exhale une énorme attention aux plus petits détails.

Goede plek, maar heb geen hoge verwachtingen van de privacy

De locatie was heel goed in prachtig huis.

Gebrek aan privacy; je huurt slechts een slaapkamer en er is geen zitgelegenheid, anders dan in de met de host gedeelde keuken. Badkamer en toilet zijn niet rechtstreeks vanuit slaapkamer te bereiken. En noch de slaapkamer, noch de badkamer kunnen op slot.
