A very eclectic and very nicely furnished apartment. Host were very helpful, friendly and made every possible effort to make our stay enjoyable. Most helpful for us was host carrying our large suitcase up the stairs to the unit and upon checkout carried the bag downstairs and allowed us to store two bags in the entry area until we could get into our next apartment.

Short stay in Antwerp

Hilde and Koen's property is a lovely, clean and well-kept apartment in the centre of Antwerp, close to Grote Markt and all the major attractions. The apartment is big and spacious and Hilde and Koen were very kind and always eager to make sure I had everything I needed. It was a lovely stay and I highly recommend!

7 day stay in March

The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They kept clear lines of communication and were flexible when our travel dates needed to change. We loved the kitchen (and made use of the appliances), having three pieces of furniture that could sleep us was helpful (a futon, a bed, and a sleeper sofa), and the location was easy to reach from the train station. I think we had the unfortunate timing of arriving while it was below freezing in Antwerp. As a result, the apartment struggled to warm up, the breaker tripped twice while trying to accommodate the space heaters and appliances, and the bathroom and entrance stairwell were frigid. The weather only improved as the trip progressed which mitigated most of the problems. The main other criticisms were: - There was only one set of keys so that required some planning if we ever went different directions. - The apartment smells strongly of cigarette smoke. I might suggest an air purifier or something similar to help with that. - The apartment is on the second floor of a walkup. - The hot water heater had trouble keeping up with three people showering. We managed to make do, but a few times whoever took the third shower was in for some frigid water. - The apartment has a layout that isn’t conveyed incredibly well in the available photos. The bathroom is outside of the main unit (and isn’t heated) and one of the beds is in the same room as the shower (in the unit) which was a bit odd.

Really cute place in a great area, with lovely hosts.

The house was nicely decorated, lots of nice bars and restaurants nearby and a nice atmosphere. The host was attentive and kind. All of the beds were sofa beds or fold out futon type beds so not very comfortable but apart from that I’d recommend the place ! Thank you

A sanctuary of fine art and textiles tastefully displayed.

After initial communication with Hilde, I truly looked forward to meeting her and seeing the wonderful apartment. It did not disappoint. Her aesthetic sensibility of furniture and textiles (most of which are her own creations) was familiar territory for me. She welcomed me and my friend for conversation and I wish we had more time to visit. I highly recommend this opportunity.

Excellent stay in Antwerp

The apartment is very spacious and located on a quiet street just a few minutes walk from the central town square (Grotke market). We had no problems locating the apartment or finding our way around. There is a convenient grocery nearby. Hilde and her husband were excellent hosts and we greatly enjoyed visiting Hilde's art studio on the ground level. We loved Antwerp because everyone was very friendly, helpful and polite. Antwerp is a great city to walk around at a leisurely pace and dart into and out of shops, cafes, restaurants, etc. Transportation on the subway to Antwerpen Centraal is very easy and allowed us to take a day trip to Brugges.

Smoky, sleepless and cold in Antwerp!

In 10+ years renting via VRBO we’ve never written (or needed to write) a negative review. We reserved the apartment for 3 nights but ended up leaving early in the morning after the 1st night. We couldn’t sleep due to the makeshift bed, the lack of heat and the overpowering smoky smell. The main issue we had is that the property is completely misrepresented in the description on the website. Here are the issues we had: 1) There is no central heating. There is a gas space heater in the dining room and a plug in, rolling type portable electric space heater in the room with the bathtub/bed which was useless. 2) There aren’t 2 bedrooms-there aren’t any bedrooms. The one bed is in the “bathroom” and is too small for two adults to sleep together. The other “bed” is actually a sofa in the living room that gets reconfigured into a very uncomfortable “bed”. We ended up sleeping on that sofa but couldn’t actually sleep. It was freezing cold and the apartment reeked of smoke. 3) There aren’t 2 bathrooms. There is one separate toilet in the hallway with no heat source, and the bathtub/shower is actually in a separate room with a small bed in it. 4) If you do stay with more than two people, you have to walk through the living room area of the sofa bed to get to the toilet. 5) We found the stench of the former smoke house unbearable. When I read the owners’ description, I imagined it was years ago and probably in a different part of the building than what we were renting. The smell is evident when you walk into the door on the ground floor and it gets stronger as you get to the 3rd floor apartment. The owner told me that the rental apartment was the drying room i.e hams were hanging from the ceiling in the apartment. The smell is completely imbedded in all of the furnishings and surfaces. The smoke smell made it impossible to sleep and seemed unhealthy. It got in our hair, our clothes, our wool coats. We had to clean everything after being there one night. 6) The summary should say that the apartment is on the 2nd European floor/US 3rd floor. The owners were very welcoming when we checked in. We quickly left to go for dinner and returned late to realize the situation. Since it was late when we got back for the night, we decided to make the best of it but couldn’t sleep, got up early, booked a hotel room and rushed out. It was my husband’s birthday so we didn't want a confrontation with the owners to spoil our vacation further.

Heart of Antwerp Gem

From welcome to farewell, our stay was comfortable and very lovely. The location is perfect for access to all of the city’s highlights, shopping, restaurants, cafes, and culture, all of which can be reached on foot or by various forms of quick public transport. There is a launderette within a minute’s walk. The apartment features all the necessary home-away-from-home needs, and the property itself is historic and intriguing. The owners, Hilde and Koen, are exceptionally kind individuals; they are always ready to help you with advice and assistance. This is supplemented by a drawer full of brochures and guides of things to do and see. By the way, right when you step onto the pavement, you can see the Grote Markt which is very cool. All in all, this is THE perfect spot for an extended stay in the beautiful city of Antwerp.

Immersion in artistry; a truly lovely experience

Hilde and Koen have created an apartment that is an art experience in itself. All of the surroundings are very comfortable and simultaneously delightful to the eye. They are very kind hosts and were exceptionally helpful. This apartment is one of those spaces that even if weather prevented you from getting out to enjoy Antwerpen, you may have absolutely no problem with that because you already find yourself in beautiful surroundings, comfortable to work in and able to enjoy a serene view of the quiet park across the street. Also, for those who enjoy beer, please look to visit Billie's, and for coffee, Nelly's. Both are within walking distance.

Location is the best!

You can not get a better location! Right where all the action is but because of that it can be a little loud. Make sure you have a sound machine app on your phone. The owner is a very talented artist and her tapestries and rugs are all over the rental. She even has a book of her works in the rental that you can admire. Very clean and decorated nicely. The owners are warm and hospitable. I am very picky with my sleeping arrangements and found the beds to be uncomfortable but the rest of my family were fine. I would recommend.

Heerlijk weekendje Antwerpen

We hebben genoten van weekendje Antwerpen. De accommodatie was heel centraal gelegen. Voor onze groep (tieners van 19, 18 en 15 jaar) ideaal om er samen als gezin maar ook zelf op uit te gaan. De slaapindeling vereiste wat aanpassing door 1 slaapkamer die gecombineerd is met badkamer, wel apart toilet! En ook 1 ruime bedbank in de woonkamer. Heerlijke ruime woonkamer, en het keukenblok van alle gemakken voorzien qua voorzieningen. Fijn dat er koffie en thee aanwezig is bij aankomst. Super schoon beddengoed. Prettig contact met eigenaren. Kortom, ik kom graag nog eens terug!
