The flat is an ideal HomeLink house, it has a large open plan feel with plenty of outside spaces on the terraces, yet it is not too big to clean at the end of the stay. It is tastefully decorated and has all the facilities needed in terms of kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Everything is of very good quality.
There is a supermarket close by and lots of places to eat in the town, serving many Flanders delicacies. The flat is a few minutes walk from the train station and tram/bus station so using public transport is very easy and there are bicylces provided as well, no need to use a car. Easy links to all the major cities and tourist attraction in Belgium make this an ideal base for exploring. Oostende has a wonderful, vibrant beach and we used the beachhut twice during our stay as the weather was so hot.
Gertie and Phillip arranged everything beautifully for our arrival and kept in contact throughout our stay by text message which was very helpful. They left our house in a beautiful condition and were our ideal, first Homelink partners for us.
