"Pros: This was our very first apartment booked via booking.com and it couldn’t have been better! For what we paid, the apartment was exceptional! FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE WOW! Thomas and Leen are great hosts, and they really care about their guests! Thomas gave us clear instructions for getting to the apartment, met us there and showed the location of the car park. He also explained about the surrounding area and was always available to answer our questions very quickly. When we entered the apartment we found fruits, a bottle of water, juice, wine, and a welcoming card as a gift for the first guests which was way too nice! The apartment is new, immaculate, spacious, quiet, cosy, and stylish. It had everything we needed to feel at home: fully equipped kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine, washing up liquid, toilet paper , tissues etc. The bathroom is modern and thoughtful, sweet touches….. super clean. Beds in both bedrooms are king size, super comfortable. This accommodation is in a great area, within easy walking distance of a wonderful sandy beach, tram and train station as well as a bus stop. There are great cafes, restaurants, and shops around. Ostende is an amazing city ! Definitely worth a visit! Also, it is easy to go to Brussels, Brugge, Gent or other cities by train. We paid the deposit by cash and Thomas has transferred it back to our bank account on the same day we left, after inspecting the property. The whole stay was wonderful, we enjoyed every moment and are sure to visit and stay at Villa 55 again without any doubt. Totally recommend staying there! (The first day of our stay we decided to book another stay at this accommodation to visit Christmas market in Brugge :) Dear Thomas and Leen, Thank You Very Much for Your Generosity!" ~Inesa

"Pros: This is a lovely home, it is tastefully decorated. There's a record player, smart TV, coffee machine, beer fridge, and pretty much everything you can think of. The beds are very comfortable, and the house is beautiful. The hosts were very helpful and polite. Cons: There were no towels, but this was our fault, for not checking. There really isn't anything to complain about." ~Andy

"Pros: Very welcoming and well organized host, the ground floor studio is located within walking distance of the seaside, cafés/restaurants ("little Paris") and a supermarket (open on Sundays) yet a quiet oasis once you get inside, You get a big bed, cozy living room with quality sofa, TV and WIFI, a well furbished modern kitchen with quality kitchen gear incl. a dishwasher. All in all an excellent offer. Very happy i stayed there." ~Steven
