Our husband and I as well as my 9 yr, 11 yr and 75 yr old mother absolutely fell in love with this place. The location is perfectly walkable to groceries, the square and to everything you need. The rooftop is amazing, but the real charm is inside and with the wonderful host, Marc. He is an absolute gem and has so much great information to share about Bruge. We will absolutely stay here again for our next trip to Bruge!

The apartment is spacious and full of character. It is brilliantly situated, being extremely central but on a street that is not busy at all. The terrace was surprisingly big and we really appreciated it when the sun came out. The owner, Marc, was very helpful and friendly, and was always easy to reach. All in all, a great spot from which to enjoy this lovely city.

What can we say about Mark and his wife? They could not have gone to any more trouble…. From the pickup to and from the train station which made our transition so easy Their place is amazing. They have thought of everything. We have stayed in many places over the world. But our visit to Bruges was amazing because of our accommodation!!

An incredible apartment in a wonderful city. We knew we were going to have a pleasant stay in Bruges even before we left our home, first from the reviews we read of the apartment, but mostly from the correspondence with Marc when we booked. Every question you could have and every thing you need to know about your booking and getting the most of your stay in Bruges is sent to you so you can start your planning. Upon arrival Marc greets you and helps you with your bags and gets you settled. As he takes you through everything you need to know about the apartment - you can feel the pride he has in the apartment and how beautifully considered and crafted every aspect of it is - clearly this is more than a place to rest after a day of sightseeing - you feel the apartment has as much character as the city itself and you get to be a part of it. Marc’s meticulous explanation of the apartment answers any query you might have leaving only one things left to do - get out and enjoy the city. Marc took an interest in our likes, and our kids, and made suggestions on what to see and helped curate our time in Bruges - what to see, where to eat & what beers to drink. The apartment is packed full of character, textures, layers of craft and beautifully appointed features. The sun drenched deck is a lovely feature which affords you views of 4 cathedrals and the Bruges skyline whilst being serenaded by the soundtrack of Marc’s soulful songbirds in the aviary below. Apartment is ideally situated.

We come to Bruges very often and have rented many nice apartments, but the Romantisches Penthouse is the best of all. Ideal location, couldn't be better! The apartment is very clean and comfortable with a great design. Everything here is made with excellent taste and love. The kitchen has everything for cooking. Very nice bathroom. Wonderful bedroom and living and dining area. The apartment is just perfect. Registration was very easy and quick. The owner of the penthouse, Marc, is very responsive and kind, we were glad to meet him. We had the best experience staying at the apartment and look forward to staying here again on our next trips to Bruges. Thank you very much for everything. You are the best!

Marc is a wonderful host and very attentive to detail. The apartment was very comfortable and quite spacious and in an excellent location - within minutes of the main square. He even hung the US flag outside of the building for his American visitors. Lots of restaurants and a supermarket within a few minutes walk. Highly recommend this property for a visit to this beautiful city.

Marc the host met us ( family from UK 2 adults a d 2 children 9 & 11) personally on check-in and he gave us a warm welcome despite it being late in the evening. The penthouse was lovely, very charming in it's traditional decor and extremely clean ... it had everything we could have needed for the stay plus much more such as some lovely chocolates, bowl of fresh fruit, beers, water a d juice for the children. The terrace was large and lovely to eat breakfast and lunch on and a lovely view of 4 church spires including the Belfry, being amongst the roofs of Bruges felt special and authentic. Popping back to the apartment was no problem as it was so central but also quiet even on a busy weekend. The underground parking was easy and a great addition for which we were very grateful for and Marc also helped with our car problem. We used Marc's bikes, our 9 year old loved the tandem bike and we had a great day exploring the city to get a different perspective on Bruges. We would would happily stay here again.

Marc was a lovely host, offering to pick us up from the station and drop us back again, providing welcome beers, fruit and chocolate and generally being very helpful. We had a 4 month old baby with us and he provided a changing mat, cot, baby seat, and even a car seat for the car. It’s very easy to see why he’s received so many good reviews! The location of the property is perfect too - everything is within walking distance as it’s so central.

Beautiful property in perfect location. Check in with Marc was perfect, and use of the private garage for parking was an added bonus. Would book again without hesitation.

What a tremendous place and host! You will not find a better location or rental anywhere and Marc was the most friendly and helpful host we have ever had. This lodging is a 2-3 minute walk from the Markt and Belfort but in a very quiet area. The unit itself is beautiful. Also has a terrace with views of several landmarks - the weather didn't really allow us to take full advantage. We give this place the highest possible recommendation.

We walked, we ate, we climbed steps, we enjoyed a canal boat tour, we relaxed. All within the vicinity of this wonderful home. Thank you Marc.

Thank you so much Marc for a lovely stay in your home! We had a brilliant trip and the penthouse is everything that you could want - perfect location (with parking!) and so well equipped, comfortable and cosy. We were lucky and had some lovely February sun and managed to have lunch out on the terrace listening to the chimes from the bell towers. Marc is very welcoming and helpful and the perfect host. Thank you!

This was the VERY Best VRBO we have ever stayed in. Stunningly beautiful historic restoration with decorated and furnished beautifully. Marc the host was incredible… he spent a full half hour checking us in and showing us on the map all the places we wanted to see. He had fresh fruit , Belgian beer and chocolate for us. We stayed in January so we didn’t use the roof terrace but it too was amazing.

What a wonderful apartment, in the heart of Bruges. The owner, Marc was extremely thoughtful and made it feel like home. The check in process was perfect and he was able to give us wonderful tips on restaurants, places to visit and things to do with the kids. This property is what VRBO is all about! Thank you Marc for sharing your beautiful apartment and city with us.

Marc is an amazing, humble, and hospitable host. He takes the time to share any info you may want or need - so use him as the great resource he is. His place is so beautiful, spacious, and unique. Loved the architecture and the little touches of stocking the place with some fruit and beers for us to try. If you are thinking of booking, don’t hesitate:) Locations is a 1-2 minute walk to the main square too!

The apartment is well equipped, cosy and in a fantastic location right in the heart of Bruges. The parking is so convenient and Marc, the host, could not have been more helpful. A lovely welcome package of beers, chocolate and fruit......very thoughtful. The bicycles were appreciated by the younger members of our party who used them. When we return to Bruges, which we will, we will have to stay here as anywhere else will not measure up! Many thanks for your hospitality. 😊

We had a fantastic stay at Marc's apartment, the set up was perfect for visiting Bruges with friends and our 2 year old. Marc was amazing throughout, with recommendations before we arrived and providing toys for our son when he arrived. The space felt just like home and was in a brilliantly central spot to explore the city from on foot. Having access to a parking spot made the journey easy. We love the city and couldn't imagine a better place to stay, we look forward to coming back again in future!

Marc was an amazing host. He welcomed my family of 5 like we’re part of his own. He has a beautiful home with outstanding views of the rooftops and key points in Bruges. 5 minute walk to the center market. Would highly recommend Marc and his home. An outstanding 5 star experience. Thank you, Marc.

First - the host - Mr. Marc - I cannot say enough about his hospitality and kindness. A true gentleman. Marc met us at the train station, transported us to the property, and gave us a thorough tour. There was fresh fruit and some lovely beer waiting for us. Further, when we had a small need, Marc and his wife responded in the most generous way. Next - the property. It is even better than the pictures! It is warm and lovely, and very spacious. The patio is magic. Last - the location. In my view, the location is ideal. It is a very short walk to the city center, and to many of the more interesting sights, Belgian beer bars, and nice restaurants. When we return to Bruges, there is no doubt, we will stay here. THANK YOU Marc!

We loved the penthouse! It has so much character, lots of space, and was very relaxing after a day of exploring Bruges. Marc, our host, is kind and gracious, and gave us a lot of information about Bruges, not to mention a bowl of fruit and some beer. He even picked us up from the train station and brought us back at the end of our stay. Truly a top host! I would love to stay here again.

We lucked out with this accommodation. Marc, the host was above and beyond phenomenal. He picked us up from the train station, and helped carry our baggage on foot through the city to another hotel when we checked out. Whatever we could’ve thought to need was provided, guide books, maps, bicycles. We appreciated having the ability to do laundry on site, which saved us room packing. Also utilized the kitchen and cooked a few meals in to save money. The unique layout, stained glass windows, antique furniture, and modern lofted hallway were absolutely gorgeous. The views in any direction from the patio were stunning. You can see the Belfry from the patio. Speaking of the Belfry, you’re conveniently located about a block-and-a-half off The Markt, the main square and central hub of the city. 100% would recommend, and would stay again!

Property was so central of everything in Bruges, was very spacious and full of character. Hosts were incredibly helpful. We loved this stay and hope to be back in future!

This property is excellent and Marc is a fantastic host who I cannot recommend highly enough. The apartment is equipped with everything you could possible need, including the spacious garage and the location in the centre of Bruges was perfect. It was hotter than expected for the time of year but there were plenty of high quality fans to help keep us cool. We like to visit Bruges regularly and this will definitely be our preferred destination. Thank you Marc for a lovely visit.

We had a wonderful time staying at Marc’s penthouse apartment in Bruges! There were 5 of us (2 adults and 3 kids aged 13, 14 & 17) and we couldn’t had asked for a better place to stay, it was perfect! I was skeptical about whether the reviews were too good to be true, but am happy to report that the apartment (and Marc as well!) definitely deserves its 5 star status. We couldn’t have asked for a better location, it was just a short stroll to the main square which meant we spent a lot more time in the middle of the city (especially when it was quieter in the evenings) because it was so close. The parking spot was invaluable! It meant that we could do several side trips and not have to worry about finding parking for the car. Marc was so friendly and went out of his way to give us information about the city (even sending brochures all the way to Australia). Nothing went wrong while we were there, but I knew that he wasn’t far in the event we needed some help. We will always have wonderful memories of our time in Bruges, especially playing cards on the deck overlooking all the beautiful buildings until the sun set at 10:30pm. I hope to one day come back to Bruges and stay in Marc’s amazing apartment

Fabulous host who went above and beyond to help us. The property has everything you need and is in a perfect location. A mountain of bikes to choose from to borrow to explore the area. A must for anyone looking to stay in Bruges.

Marc has done a beautiful job on this apartment! It is a cozy spot in the center for Bruges. The decorating was absolutely beautiful and comfortably fit three adults and two kids! Marc even left us with some local beer and chocolate that was delicious. He offered many insights into where to visit and what to see. We would rate this beyond five stars! We look forward to returning!

My wife, daughter, and I stayed in three VRBOs in three cities during our Europe trip, and this one was by far our favorite. The penthouse is beautiful inside and well furnished. It has modern conveniences while feeling very classic. It's spacious and has a really nice back deck to lounge, have a beer, look at the skyline, and listen to the sounds of the village. Marc was a wonderful host. He insisted on hauling our very heavy bags up three flights of stairs by himself. He spent a lot of time going over the features of the apartment, talking about things to do in town, and reviewing Belgian beers. He had a selection of three different Belgian beers in the fridge with the appropriate glass set out for each. Europe is in another summer heatwave and like most residences in Bruges this apartment does not have AC. But Marc provided multiple fans as well as plug-in mosquito repellent devices to help us be comfortable. With these we were able to cool down the house quite a bit at bed time and sleep comfortably. The apartment is steps away from the main square and you can walk from it to anything you want to see in town. I highly recommend Marc's penthouse.

Great location well setup and most of all - a great host. Marc met us at the Rail Station, explained the main attractions of Bruges. We would stay here again and recommend this accommodation. to family and friends.

Marc is a wonderful host. He offered to pick us up and drop us off at the train station and once we experienced some of the Bruge bus system we understood his gracious offer. He has obviously been doing this for some time as the place was fully equipped and his welcome was a big relief after a long travel day. The accommodation is centrally located to the main square, it is oozing with character and atmosphere and is a unique home away from home with a large bedroom upstairs, king size bed and bathroom. The downstairs is one large living dining and kitchen with a rooftop deck to enjoy. We can't say enough about how wonderful the home is, and how Marc seemed to know exactly what we would need. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an unusual, but comfortable place in Bruges.

The accommodation is a beautiful rooftop apartment with a terrace. It is well situated in the heart of Bruges. Everything we required was in the apartment and Marc was very accommodating. Loved our stay and would highly recommend.

Best ever, Marc is awesome, his house is awesome!

The apartment is in a wonderful location very near to the Market but also very quiet. Bruges is very beautiful, this our 4th visit. We enjoyed a tour of the De Halve Maan brewery and a trip to Ypres. There are many places to enjoy a drink and food. I can recommend Jerrys Cigar Bar for a coffee and beer. Its a quiet oasis in the centre.
