"Pros: Overall, our experience was good. This is a charming apartment that is beautifully decorated, comfortable and located in a nice, quiet street that is still fairly close to major sightseeing in the Historic Centre of Bruges. Check-in is pretty late at 5pm and check-out is earlier than we would have liked at 10am. No front desk to store your luggage which can effect your travel plans to and out of Bruges because of luggage.
Kitchen was stocked well with cooking utensils, pots, pans, plates and cutlery allowing us to cook a few meals during our stay. We have an very good butcher shop (Hof Maertens) and bakery (Patisserie Schaeverbeke) just down the street near Church of St Magdalene worth recommending for anyone playing to stay at this property for a longer stay.
Bedrooms were nice, included sufficient space, lighting and comfortable beds. 1/F bathroom was spacious, G/F and 2/F bathroom units fit for purpose and sufficient for space needed.
Cons: The stairs within the property are rather steep and have small steps, making them a bit of a challenge for those with larger feet. I found that walking backwards down the stairs made them more manageable and more comfortable. Taking large luggage up the stairs is slightly challenging, particularly to the top floor room. In fact, the top floor stairs are incredibly steep with itsy, bitsy steps. Fun to see and try, a bit sketchy at night, not something recommended for those with walking or mobility issues. Safe? You have decide on this one. I thought it was fine for myself but would understand if others didn't view it to be.
There is no laundry machine at this apartment. This was a problem for us as the laundry mat recommended by Huswell was nearly 15 minute walk from the property. Do your research to find a nearer option if you are concerned about having your clothing cleaned during your stay.
Note: Huswell ask for a large Security Deposit for this property. This was mentioned on Booking.com T&C at the time of booking. However, what they didn't mention until after we had made reservation is that they would charge €25 to refund your security deposit. Yikes! Would be best if they would inform interested guests of this charge within the T&C beforehand.
Even worse was the refund time, which was supposed to be 10-15 working days after our stay. I had to email and ask 4 weeks afterwards and we didn't receive our security deposit, minus €25 charge for nearly 6 weeks. That really shouldn't happen and is something Huswell needs to do ensure they handle in a more timely manner for future guests of this apartment." ~Bradinhk
