Apartments Ypres

I absolutely adored this unique, pristine, central, apartment - so close to shops, market, restaurants, etc. The view down on street was also lovely for a bit of people-watching (and to check on the weather!). The apartment is light and airey and comfortable. A really smart but relaxed vibe and our hostess was incredibly kind, helpful, and thoughtful. She is definitely one of the reasons we will return if we can! Only a short walk to enjoy the town centre and everything Ypres / Ieper has to offer; I have been visiting for a couple of decades now and this is the place I will book whenever I return in the future. The shower is unassuming to look at but very good at the end of a long walking day! ;) Importantly, while I travelled with my partner this time, I often visit Ypres / Ieper as a solo female and walking by myself to / from this flat in the evenings and early mornings to grab fresh bakery goods or to get some milk, felt safe.

We were guided with really challenging instructions to get into a parking spot. Owner was at the spot and gave instructions verbally which we followed and this caused damage to the car. Then we were told it was our own responsibility. In addition, we were told by neighbors that where we were told to park is not the owner's property. So, it was a very confusing situation. I also did not like that I was forced to go to a cash point to retrieve money to pay in cash for the 3 nights. My preference was paying by card as I am not an european resident and it cost me a lot of money to retrieve cash. So, there is no flexibility which was very disappointing (especially after also having damage to the car that I borrowed from my parents). We were also traveling with a baby and 2.5 year old and they needed to wait for a long time while I was getting cash to stay (and it was already later in the evening).

The apartment was a lovely base camp for adventures in the West Flanders province of Belgium. The apartment is one street back from the Market Square so you get all the culture with a fraction of the noise. The Menin Gate, Cloth Hall with Belfry and Ramparts were in short walking distance. The bed was comfortable and the apartment was surprising large with a well equipped kitchen, washing machine and large windows overlooking the street. Katie was very communicative and greeted us on arrival to tour the premises with us. Would highly recommend this apartment and would stay here again.

Katie was a responsive host and the apartment was incredibly comfortable. The bedrooms were quiet, the beds very welcome after a day touring the battlefields, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location was exceptional for seeing Ypres.

We thoroughly enjoyed our entire experience in Ypres, and the lovely apartment was a significant part of our enjoyment. The owner, Katie, came by on our first morning, and gave us a complete run down on things to do in Ypres. The best part of her narrative was that she tailored her suggestions to our plans. I was there to participate as a musician at the "Last Post" ceremony at the Menin Gate, and we had spent the previous several days traveling through France paying our respects at various battlefields and cemeteries. Katie strongly suggested we visit Tyne Cot British Cemetery, which was a moving experience, for which we are most grateful.

We have only good things to say about our entire experience in Ypres. Our one regret is that we were only there for three days. Not a complaint, but be prepared for the stairs. This is an historic building, and the stairs, though well-lit and in excellent shape, are fairly steep and somewhat narrow, which is to be expected, really. The apartment, location, appointments, and comfort, are definitely worth the "adventurous" stairs!

To be honest it was more than i expected, Katie is very polite and knowledgeable about the area, where guiding us to visit rather than me and my wife just rambling about, so yes i definitely recommend and would use again.

Nothing really.

Location, spacious, comfortable, well equipped

The stairs as we were on the second level. I was asked to pay in cash once I had arrived. I wasn’t expecting this and was unprepared. There was an ATM opposite but unable to access that much money on two of my cards and had to resort to withdrawing cash fromI my credit card.

A cosy, comfortable amd very well looked after apartment. It was right next to the town square and 5 minute walk from the Menin Gate. Great Facilties and very clean.

Nothing at all.
