The house is beautiful, full of character and in a great, quiet location close to a supermarket and easy to get to the wonderful sights of Bruges. The host was very helpful and easy to communicate with.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful home while visiting Bruges. We were so close to the center of town and walked everywhere in Bruges from there. The house was spotless and comfortable. Our host, Pascal, gave us lots of recommendations for meals and sight seeing. I highly recommend this property.

This beautifully updated 17th century apartment could not have been nicer and the location was terrific. Pascal met us and gave us really good information about Bruges and the surrounding area. We would absolutely stay here again.

This property was exactly as seen in the pictures. Unfortunately, the adjacent property is now boarded up and the one across the street is empty and for sale therefore the street lacks curb appeal. However, it is quiet and nice to be away from the busy city centre but only a 10 minute walk to get there. Also, Tom's diner is an amazing restaurant that is a stone's throw away. The inside of the property is also as pictured. We did find the stairway precarious as two of us have mobility issues. The beds and bedding were very comforable and the kitchen had what was needed for our stay. Pascal was very lovely and explained the area and attractions. He was also very accommodating with our check in process. Communication was excellent.

The location was perfect for us - in a quiet neighborhood and a short walk to the Markt area. The house was very comfortable and provided everything we needed for a group of 4 adults. The bathrooms and kitchen were modern and very clean (as was the rest of the house). The sitting room and patio were great places for us to gather and plan our day or enjoy a beer together in the afternoon. Our hosts were very friendly and took the time to provide advice on where to eat and places to see. I really appreciated that Pascal accommodated our needs and checked in with us throughout the week. A few additional details about the home … the beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was stocked with plenty of fresh towels. Large master bedroom. Note - the third bedroom is accessed through the master. The electronic lock at the front door eliminated the need to manage keys.
It was a delightful stay and we highly recommend it to others!

We all loved our stay in Bruges and renting Pascal’s house made it even more special. So clean and comfortable. The location of the house is perfect for easy access to everything but being away from any street noise made it perfect for us. Pascal himself is so friendly and helpful. We ate at a lovely Italian restaurant ‘Trattoria Murano’ nearby and could highly recommend ‘House of Waffles’ for a special brunch. We would love to return to lovely Bruges and this lovely house. Thank-you.

Would gladly stay here again 😊
Thank you

First, the obvious: Bruges is amazing, and the house location is almost impossible to beat— central, comfortable and quiet. All the sites are no more than a ten-minute walk, with grocery stores and bakeries just a couple of minutes away.
Pascal is a gem. He is friendly and truly wants his VRBO guests to have the best possible Bruges experience. He is knowledgeable, kind, and quick to respond to questions and problems (not that we had any of the latter- everything was perfect). We loved staying here and were sorry to leave.

Lovely house, warm vibes. Quiet and comfortable. Great bathroom! Easy walk to square. Pascal very helpful.

This house is perfect for two couples, or two couples and two additional children - as the third attic bedroom is up a stairwell through the master bedroom - which makes adult nighttime bathroom runs tricky. All the beds are comfortable, the house is spotless, the linens are nice and the master bath is lovely. And, dealing with Pascal is so easy; he is generous with his knowledge of Bruges!

We stayed here as the first leg of a 22 day Belgium Netherlands tour. It could not have been easier. Our host, Pascal kept in good communication with us as we arrived by train. He even went out of his way to pick us up at the train station. This was unexpected, but very welcome. We were warmly received with some nice local treats after informative conversation of the area. Pascal is very knowledgeable about the area and could easily be a tour guide. The house was clean, tidy and very comfortable...just a short walk to the centre of town. Loved it. Love Brugges.

Simply amazing! Pascal is incredibly thoughtful! Some yummy beer in the fridge for my Husband (Belgium Beer Lover), time was spent going over the map,explaining historical sites, yummy restaurants and just the best way to get around. The space worked perfectly for our fam of five to sleep, eat and be merry! So grateful for our time in this lovely city and to have a "home" to come home to after our full days of adventures! We would love to return in the future! Cheers!

overall very good, the owner controls the room temperature and it was overly cool much of the time. The location was good. The owner was helpful in showing us things to see and do.

The property is a three bedroom historic home in a quiet street just a ten minute walk from the market square. The walk is a very beautiful one, as is every walk in the historic centre of Bruges.
The house had everything our group of 6 needed and was warm and comfortable. If we had wanted to cook our own food the kitchen had everything we would have needed.
Overall a very pleasant stay in a characterful property.

One of the most beautiful places I have stayed. Perfect location and amazing host. He spent time showing us what we should see and places to eat. He listened to what we were interested in and gave us personalized recommendations. Great communication and accurate description of accommodation and amenities. Everything was beautiful, comfortable and the host put thought into what a renter may need.

Another Christmas weekend at this property having previously stayed there in 2016. Communication was great and access simple to this lovely house in a quiet residential area. It's only a short 10 minute walk to the centre with a Carrefour supermarket within a couple of minutes. Definitely our first choice to stay in Bruges.

We had a wonderful 5-night stay in Bruges at this charming home. The neighborhood was very quiet but within a short walk to the city center and all activities. Pascal provided us with excellent dinner recommendations and met us at the home to make sure we had everything we needed. There is a grocery store just a short walk away with everything you need for your stay. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom is large and modern. I would highly recommend this home.

This is a beautiful house, very well equipped, clean and homely. There were guidebooks for us, and games for our son. We were welcomed with some little treats to eat/drink. Pascal met us at the property and was very friendly and helpful with advice about Bruges. The house is very well situated within a short walk to the centre of town but in a really peaceful area. I would thoroughly recommend this property to others.

Wonderful home and host
Pascal was spot on in all his communication and was proactive to make sure we had codes to get in, the place was ready and he came to greet us and help with any questions we had. The place was spotless! Super clean, comfortable, plenty of everything you need for a short stay. The outside terrace is adorable and now I want to build one at my house. Very close to everything…maybe a 5 minute walk to the Markt area. Tatties was also a close by restaurant good for breakfast, although small. I would recommend this place to everyone.

We loved the whole property - wonderful to stay somewhere with such history & personality! It was beautifully kept, sparklingly clean (with very comfy beds and an awesome shower!) and in an ideal location for walking to everything. We really liked being able to pop in and out of the centre as and when we needed to, because with young kids, having some time to chill in our own space is important. Pascal is the absolute most helpful host ever! His 'inside knowledge' was great - and we felt we saw a lot of real Bruges because of his help & ideas. He knew plenty of things for the kids to do, too - we can't wait to come back and see the area around Bruges, too. Still so much to visit and enjoy! Thank you Pascal.

Lovely property on a great location
Had a great weekend in Bruges staying here. Property is well equipped and in a great location. Pascal also gave us some great recommendations of places to visit, and even though I've been many times before I learnt about somewhere new to go. Would definitely book again.

Lovely neighbourhood in Brugge
We were visiting with friends for a short stay in Brugges. The home was lovely and it was absolutely spotless. The owners take great care and it shows. We loved the neighbourhood, being among the locals, yet a short walk to city centre square. Pascal met us the first night, his advice on what to see and suggestions for the timing i.e. the Belfry climb made our trip even more enjoyable. The property is very charming and a historical site, it has a lovely small patio and very well equipped. Would highly recommend and Pascal was always very good and very prompt with his communication and suggestions.

Quirky house
Lovely house with small outdoor space. Three good bedrooms although one twin in accessed up a stairs from the large double bedroom. Super comfy beds with great linen. Fabulous shower . A great house 5/10 minutes from central square in quiet location. Thank you to Pascal for all the information and birthday treats.

Perfect for a family
We stayed here for several days while on a family trip. There were 6 of us and the house was just great. Very clean and updated on the inside, but still retains its historic charm. It is no more than a 10 minute walk to the market square (if you walk slowly). The neighborhood is very quiet and comfortable, a nice break from the hustle of the square and area. Pascal was very helpful and gave a very detailed but useful introduction to the area. Would stay here again

Great place and hosts!
We really enjoyed our stay. The beds are very comfortable, great (toasty warm) bathroom and shower, and, very clean. The location is perfect, about a 7 minute walk to the city center. The hosts could not be better! I highly recommend staying here.
