The space
A Luxurious room with an intimate nearby shared night hall, toilet and a shower room, all separated and inside this big Master's apartment. Heated natural oiled oak wood floor everywhere, super acoustic doors and ceilings. Thermic insulated walls. In this room you'll feel like on your own, cut from the rest of the apartment by two acoustic doors.
A TPE eco friendly yoga mat along with a meditation cushion are available in the room for indoor use only.
Ultra filtered running water (Doulton) is available on a dedicated tap in the kitchen. Enjoy pure water, Namaste ! This apartment features three-five bedrooms depending on the season and has two bathrooms and three toilets flushed with rain water. Electricity is provided by the house solar panels. All bedlinen and towels are ECO washed with environment bio disposable products and powered by solar panels.
Beyond just providing a shelter with a bed and sanitary facilities of very good quality, my intention as a host is also to offer a source of Inspiration. Therefore I linked each room of my apartment with a VIRTUE (see in the room title). Virtue is strength, power and the key to peace. A virtuous man is every happy, peaceful and prosperous. This "Garden of Virtue" inspired by the teachings of my Yoga masters Swami Sivananda and Swami Vishnudevananda is meant to propose selected flowers of virtue to reflect upon, meditate, take care of and observe during your short stay. I wish these seeds to germinate, grow & blossom from your heart in all aspects of your life and also to ignite the curiosity to learn more.
Namaste

SHARED SPACES - Ensuring a clean and consistent environment in communal spaces such as the toilet, bathroom and kitchen can be difficult due to their shared nature among guests. Although we aim to maintain cleanliness, it is impractical to sanitize these areas after each use. However, we do perform comprehensive cleaning at least once daily to uphold hygiene standards. Opting for a private room with shared amenities requires a degree of flexibility and understanding about cleanliness expectations. We value your cooperation in this communal living arrangement, as it significantly contributes to a more enjoyable experience for all guests.
Your understanding and collaboration in maintaining these shared spaces are essential. Together, we can foster a welcoming and comfortable environment that benefits everyone involved. Thank you for your support in this shared living experience.
BED SHEETS are washed at 60° Celsius as recommended for a perfect hygiene but not ironed. Bed linen models may change according to the day of your arrival. 1 TOWEL/person is provided and is replaced once per week. There is no daily "room service" but once a week only for long stays.
A LAUNDRY SHOP is located 3min walk from the apartment. Salon Lavoir Berckmans, Rue Berckmans 66.
IRON & IRONING TABLE is available only for stays longer than five days. (free)
IMPORTANT: It is senseless to send an inquiry asking if the dates you see available online are still available. If you them it means They ARE ! You could proceed with the booking directly if you feel ready ;-)
