This is an excellent apartment-spacious, comfortable, clean & well situated.
Even without a car you are within walking distance of central Ostend, the Fisherman's Quay, the excellent beaches, Leopold Park, the railway/bus station and the Coastal Tramstop taking you to all points along Belgium's 40 miles of North Sea Coastline. You will be spoilt for choice by the array of good quality local eating places, not all serving seafood only, as you might expect in this area. The apartment is very roomy, meaning that it is cool even in hot weather, and, despite being in the centre of Ostend, only a block from the main shopping streets, it is very quiet, particularly at nights. The property is stylishly furnished. It is an ideal position from which to explore the coast and also the many very interesting inland towns/cities of West Flanders, including Bruges, Ghent & Antwerp. The cooking facilities are adequate, with a dishwasher also available. Free wi fi & international TV & radio are also available, if required. Parking is available sometimes on the premises (basement garage - usually for a charge), or in public parking just across the road. The surrounding area is full of sights worth seeing and is very flat, for those (like my wife & I) wanting a change from hills at home! The owner, Hans Jonckheere speaks several languages and is a helpful & charming guy. We recommend it very highly. In our view it is excellent value for money.
For those travelling from the UK it is within very easy reach of the Calais, Dunkirk and particularly Zeebrugge ferry ports, though no UK ferries currently use Ostend's own port.
