Fine mezzanine room with double bed
I had a wonderful stay in Griet’s loft. She’s a warm, generous, and exceptionally thoughtful host—very communicative and accommodating. The location is perfect: quiet, safe, and just a short walk to town. I was traveling solo for work and felt completely at ease. There’s a charming bakery a block away, and waking up to birdsong and the smell of fresh bread was magical. The loft had everything I needed to cook, and Griet thoughtfully stocked some essentials like milk and eggs before I arrived. There’s also a EuroShop nearby for anything you might forget. Highly recommend!
