We had very nice days in Kelly's chalet! The space was beautiful, the communication very nice and despite the wooded area we were a stone's throw from Leuven. The garden was large and nice and the space well equipped and clean. We will definitely keep this location in mind for a next vacation!

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 108 reviewsBig house up to 6p
While figuring out our stay in Leuven, we ended up at Geert's home. From the beginning there was clear and fast communication with the host, which is very nice. In addition, a really good price/quality ratio. The house was clean, spacious, beautiful and tastefully laid out and met all wishes, about a 10-minute to 15-minute walk from everything in the center, making it easy to go up and down. In addition, there is also a very nice garden in the back. The plus of the house was really that there were delicious mattresses, I don't often come across this with most AIRBNB's. The only thing that must be taken into account when booking the house is possible is that the stairs are a bit narrow and stylish, so it is a little less suitable for the less mobile people (here we were not happy with it) For a nice booking, the cottage is a must. Thanks Geert!

What a wonderful place to stay! A beautiful house along a hill, surrounded by forest. The house is even better than the pictures and it's a party to discover it. A very cool eclectic style with all the comforts you want, including jacuzzi and sauna. We had a lovely stay and would love to come back!
