THE SPACE
‘Op Den Spieghel’ is a newly renovated, fully equipped rooftop aerie/loft with fantastic views out onto this beautiful city, often called the Manhattan of the 16th Century.

The building is secure and has a lift. The loft includes a fully equipped kitchen, a dining/living area, a toilet, a bedroom with new queen-sized boxspring bed and en-suite bathroom with bath and shower. The bedroom level has an airco, so you're protected from urban soundscapes (think about certain events like at full moon e.g. ;)). Artworks of some renown friends and a Marshall audio system make it more then just exquisite.

GUEST ACCESS
The whole apartment is at your disposal when I am out of town, so be my guest! The building holds 12 apartments and is very secure.

I am always available by phone or #apps and otherwise there will be someone available to answer your questions or help with any needs or to answer any questions.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Besides all these wealthy surroundings, our aerie is located at two steps from a fantastic bakery store, some great butcher shops, an ultra-fresh fish seller and some ultra-polite mini-markets for last-moment-groceries. —Btw. Supermarkets, take-aways and some of the best cafés in town are just one step further… all still within a 5 minutes walking distance.

About the host

Hosted by Susha

Host profile image
I'm a Superhost on Airbnb (check it out!)

Traveling around the world as ’sales representative' for Antwerp fashion designers, or as ‘buyer’ for interior designers, made me be quite demanding regarding the places I was staying.

Finding a comfortable, elegant and very tidy stay at a perfect location has always been my main goal. When traveling for pleasure, I noticed I actually looked for the same kind of qualitative, stylish and —for sure!- authentic spots… Pleasure & business always seemed tightly connected :-)))

Starting from my own travel experiences and the encounter with so many people with various cultural backgrounds made me of course very skilled for the hosting of guests from all over the world. For business travelers, but for sure as well for my beloved friends.

So, if you are looking for a kind of specific spot that provides you an ease of living in the heart of Antwerp, don’t hesitate and contact me! CU soon?!

Why they chose this property

You'll certainly notice! It's a real jewel —located in the very heart of the 'Manhattan of the 16th Century'... =;)))

What makes this property unique

We stripped this spot completely to make it an aerie to work, relax, enjoy, as an extension of our main home... It's fitted to our style, decorated with works from our friends and ourselves. And it honestly feels 'as easy as a Sunday morning'...
