First of the house is in a great place and the owner Johan was helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. unfortunately when we arrived the second double bed which we had been promised was not a double bed but a separate bed slid under a single which you obviously cannot even push together to form a double. so the friends that came with us had to sleep separate. on the second night there we were to head into town which i must point out is very close, maybe about 5-10 minutes walk, but could not shut the front door the humidity or heat had caused the door to warp or expand in the frame so it would not latch. without slamming it i gave it a push while in the frame hoping the latch would click in but one of the very thin window panes cracked and fell out. i immediately called the owner and he attended and boarded it up also remounting the door on its hinged so it would latch as he himself could not get it to shut. The window was repaired the next day without anything being said although we did have to clean up a lot of broken glass that had been left on the floor. Then today i received an email saying i was being charged 504 euros for the repair. i would definitely avoid this property and having stayed in Brugge many times now would suggest people look elsewhere and avoid the extra costs months down the line.

After many years visiting Brugge we found Opaal 6 years ago and have just completed our 7th stay. We love its convenient location, its spaciousness, courtyard garden and the experience of living like a local.
Johan is always welcoming and helpful ensuring a stress free arrival and stay.
Restaurants and shops are close by as are a number of attractions.
Even though we know Brugge very well we always manage to find new restaurants and places to visit, made easier by the central location of Opaal.

Its a lovely house, very near the main square but in a slightly arty area. Its easy to get to from the ring road and subsequently near free parking. The house is very compact, warms up easily, very well furnished and immediately comfortable. Johan is discrete, fair, helpful, invisible and informative all at the same time. Very heartily recommended.
