General Overview

I have been renting the same apartment until now. I have a dog, which I rescued in 2019 as a pup from the streets when it was 6 weeks old. She is my ever companion since, have stopped travelling because of her. I am a father with adult adult children who live in Belgium. I have transformed my apartment in an art paradise, literally; in my studio I have a comfy mattress- it used to be the master bedroom, then I have my own bedroom. I want to rent it out while I am not here or in exchange with somewhere else, You can also share with me when I am here and sleep in the studio and you will have access to the rest of the apartment. I have 2 balconies with view on fauna/flora and street life.

The Space

Master bedroom turned into a studio space-see photo 2020, it has foldable ergonomic mattress on the floor-can change it into a couch...the studio- with ceiling fan-gives out on a terrace with view on the lane I live in. I took that picture from the door to the living room which is also huge for a person alone, it has a mahogany table big enough for a family of 6 to sit at, including chairs. The living room has a door tot he bedroom where I sleep, a double Queen size mattress on a bed, the bedroom is the only place that has air condition, opposite that door is the bathroom which has a washing machine, wc, shower Between the bedroom and the studio is the kitchen, with a cooker of one pit, a sink, a microwave and a fridge.huge fridge . The living room has a door that gives out to the staircase to the garden and a landing around the living room connecting to the terrace-also huge. There is a balcony and pantry at the back of the apartment overlooking the Hamilton canal. I have put in fly/mosquito window and door screens.

Guest Access

first floor, and access for the guest via the veranda to the studio space/bedroom.

Notes

I am not sure about a guest having to live with my pet, a wonderful 5 year old called Milady, 'cause we never had guests and in my absence she might find it strange someone else takes my space. The landlady also has 2 dogs downstairs, as lovely as mine, not aggressive.
