Read More...the location of the loft is perfect. we walked all around oostende, went to the beaches, did little hikes, bike rides and runs along the north sea, visited bruges and ghent by train. brussels isn't far by train either and we even went to a horse race at the hippodroom! we loved what chris and jan did to this place that used to be a parking garage, really cool loft! it is a very special space they have created, with a calm feel to it and lots of plants. our hosts had collected some brochures and flyers from the tourist information, which was helpful too. we liked the modern art museum, which is also in walking distance and we got take out three (!) times from the indian place 50m away fron the loft. thank you for this great experience, we would exchange again any time!
