Für mehr als 2 Personen völlig ungeeignet! Extrem!

Zutreffend an der Beschreibung ist, dass die Terasse in der Tat sehr schön ist. Ansonsten ist die Bezeichnung "Penthouse-Suite" eher satirisch zu verstehen. Am ärgerlichsten ist die Tatsache, dass sich das Bad (inkl. der einzigen, nicht weiter abgetrennten Toilette) nicht zwischen den beiden Zimmern befindet, sondern IM 2. Schlafzimmer! Wer also darauf Wert legt, bei Körperpflege und Toilettenbesuchen von mitreisenden Freunden etc. hautnah beobachten oder zumindest gehört und gerochen werden möchte, ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben.
Ebenfalls störend ist die praktisch nicht vorhandene Geräusch- und Geruchisolierung der Wohnung, d.h. man erlebt Gespräche, Musik, Küchengerüchte, Badbesuche etc. der Vermieter stets hautnah mit.
Die Einrichtung der Küche bedarf einer Totalsanierung.
Für den Preis bekommt man in Brügge bestimmt sehr schöne Doppelzimmer in einem der unzähligen Hotels!
Auf diese "Penthouse-Suite" werden wir auf jeden Fall zukünftig sehr gern verzichten.
Owner's Response: 1. The terrace
The south-facing roof terrace is one of the elements that make this penthouse a very nice place for a holiday! From the first room of this suite-penthouse, you have a great view on the Bruges skyline through the glass sliding door, running the length of the apartment.
2. 2 or 4 people
As you can see on the photos, the second room of this suite-penthouse has an open all-wood bathroom. Around the corner of this U-shaped room there is another double bed. I can understand that this may feel somewhat uncomfortable for two couples traveling together. So this is something you should know before choosing this holiday apartment. But families traveling with children normally have no problems with this setting. There is nothing to be ashamed off anything that is human !
3. Sound insulation
The penthouse is on the third floor of my house. 90% of the time, nobody is living on the second floor. Then this apartment really is a quiet place. Sometimes my children (22 and 20 years old) are staying at my house. They are both university students. When they are at home, there is indeed a more lively atmosphere in the house. I think this is a normal part of life. We do, however, take care not to disturb our holiday guests.
4. Kitchen
Integrated in the first room of the penthouse, there is a small but well-functioning kitchen alcove with a refrigerator, two electrical plates and a microwave oven. Enough to do some basic cooking. My point of view is that the cook is more important than the kitchen itself.
5. Rate
In a hotel in Bruges, you would easily pay 100 euro per night for a spacious double room in the weekend. With 2 people in Casa Gratituda, you get a nice south-facing roof terrace included in the price, and you can save expenses because you do not have to eat out all the time. With 3 or 4 people, staying at Casa Gratituda gives you a substantial price advantage.
I hope these comments put everything in perspective.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you should have any further questions.
