"Pros: Great location, well equipped, comfortable and spacious Cons: Parking restrictions" ~David

"Pros: This was booked at the last minute for a one night stay in Ypres, and the price was on par for what we'd expect there, at a busy time in August. The accommodation was a self-contained apartment, accessed via a keypad from the narrow lane by the side of the establishment. It had a sitting room / kitchenette on ground floor and a bedroom with very large and comfortable double bed, plus a sofa bed (not advertised), and adjacent shower room on the first floor, accessed via a steep spiral staircase. The kitchen area contained everything that was advertised - coffee maker, kettle, and a few coffee pads, a small jar of instant coffee, and a few herbal tea bags. Plenty of There was a decent sized fridge, and a sink, The sink was only connected to cold water, but that was fine for us. There was also a cooker hob, which was not advertised, but we didn't need this so did not try it. There were no pots or pans, nor any cutlery or utensils other than a couple of teaspoons. Plenty of cups and glasses. The TV worked fine, with a local TV cable package including BBC1 & 2. Shower room was good, and right next to the fairly large bedroom. The bedroom window looked onto the little lane, so there was not much traffic noise, and no nearby bars etc. The business owner Alain was very helpful and polite when we telephoned on arrival, using the number displayed in the window by the main door. Cons: There were no major problems, however..... 1. Prior to arrival, we did not have any access info from the owner via Booking.com. We usually receive a message or email giving locations of doors, access codes, key pick ups, etc, but not here. Instead we arrived at the check-in time to find the place in darkness, deserted and locked, with a piece of paper in the window with a phone number. We had to ring this to speak to the owner, Alain, who answered immediately, was very polite and told us where the door was, and how to get in, etc. It would have been better however to receive some instructions in a welcome message, in the absence of anyone on-site. 2. The spiral staircase was manageable, but quite steep and tight. At the top there was a small landing, giving access to the bedroom and the adjacent shower room. The banister rail at the top of the stair did not have sufficient vertical rods, which would have made it very unsafe for a small child, allowing them to slip through the rail and fall down the drop. The accommodation did mention that children were welcome, but I would suggest that this particular room would not be very safe for them at the moment. (Perhaps the "children welcome" message applied to other rooms here...?)" ~Paul

"Pros: We loved this wonderful house in Ypres! It was very well appointed with everything we needed and it was especially great to do laundry. Plenty of room for our family of 7. House was clean, beds were comfortable, loved having a garage parking space for our van. It was a perfect stay. Cons: Walls could use some wiping down but otherwise it was very clean." ~Wendy
