These are really minor points but maybe just good to know: - the house is old and therefore has wooden floors which means you can hear the people in the flat above quite a bit. This didn't bother us but worth knowing if you are expecting complete silence. - have to pay for the city tax in cash which you leave in a little box. I never carry cash these days so it was a bit inconvenient to have to go take cash out and spend some to get change to put in the box. I would have rather paid it together with the reservation (but a lot of places take the city tax payment like this so not entirely surprising). Again, these are very minor points and overall we had an absolutely fantastic stay.

The location really couldn't be any better. Right in front of a park and a hill where you can start a couple of hikes. 2 minutes away from the main square with shops and restaurants. The place is very cozy and has all the amenities you might need. The hosts were lovely and really easy to contact. Would love to stay here again!!

A radio would have been welcome and information on the television system would have been useful. I think it shoud be made clear that the car parking is simply on the public road outside. When staying at the weekend tha park was busy with plenty of cars parking nearby. I did however manage to park outside as shown in the attached photo.

A very characterful property with an artistic charm. Well fitted out. Situated in a pleasant part of the town, next to a park..

The kitchen worktop is unusual and difficult to work on and keep clean.

Very central but remarkably quiet location. All the shops and restaurants of Spa on your door step. The hosts provided a lovely welcome pack. The apartment has all the little extras (e.g. hairdryer, cling film etc.) that make a stay more comfortable.

For us, the bed mattress was too soft, but we are used to quite hard mattress.

Fantastic apartment in a perfect location in Spa. Had all we needed for a week hiking in the Ardennes and exploring the town. Some nights we cooked and the kitchen had everything we needed. Comfortable living room. Lovely and bright bathroom. We sat out in the private, little courtyard to have our lunch. Our small dog was welcome to stay and it was perfect for her too. Host very helpful and communicated quickly. Highly recommend staying here.

A well equipped apartment on the ground floor, with a nice quirky mix of older and modern decoration. Nice clean bathroom with good size walk-in shower, hot water arrived quickly and there were plenty of bath sheets and towels. Although I didn't have cause to use the kitchen facilities, there was everything one needed should one want to eat at home. Comfortable bed in a decent size room, overlooking a small outdoor terrace, which had a table and a pair of chairs. Very nice central location, but equally very quiet with parking across the street fronting a park.

Great location and very friendly & helpful hosts - even if we didn´t have the change to meet each other in person. The apartment itself is really pretty (although you must like the colour red) and the location works wonderfully. I visited the Thermes de Spa for two days and was very happy to return to this place in both evenings. Would have stayed longer and will reserve La Duchesse again, if the occasion rises.

Helpful owners, cosy appartment, amazing shower, super location!

The bed was very small and uncomfortable and there was a moisture smell in the room.

Great location, very nice and thought through original decoration that made the apartment very cute, very clean, very good towels including even separate ones for hands, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, little chocolates and Spa different types of water for the welcome.

Location is perfect, calm street. A lot of parking in front of the door. When we arrived there were bottles of Spa and chocolates, this was nice to start :) Everything is clean.

A fabulous apartment with charm, that's in a perfect location. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, with the hosts making you feel very welcome. Would highly recommend, and will definitely return here again when I return to Spa.

Amazing appartment, I couldn't have chosen the style of interior better myself! Great location and communication with host was perfect.

Stayed in May 2022

Small conveniences that would be nice additions: a larger cutting board and kitchen knife. Also, there was a slightly funky aroma in the (otherwise very comfortable) sofa cushions.

Location is quiet yet central to everything. The hosts were cheerfully in contact to ensure my stay was comfortable throughout the week (just enough). The decor is warm, unique and homey, with the essentials and a few lovely extras like a welcome with bottles of the local waters and chocolates. Great for an independent guest (or couple) who likes to self-cater. Local hiking trails and the Thermes spa are easily accessed across the park in front of the house. The supermarket SPAR is just around the corner, and the organic "L'Epicierie Demain" is on the next block. Very close to the train station and there is a local bus stop in front of the SPAR, so a car is not necessary, but if you have one, there is ample parking on the street by the house. The central Place Royale (where the Brocante and Marché Hebdomadaire happen each week) is also just a 5 minute walk. Really a perfect location for all the activities Spa has to offer.

When we first arrived the hosts had opened all the windows as it was a hot day, which was appreciated, but it had let in an awful lot of flies that seemed to be there due to a tree overhanging the small terrace outdoors. The owners obviously can't help that, but it was a little frustrating to spend an hour chasing flies out of the place! We also noticed some ants and Aside from that, the whole apartment could've done with a refresh - a lick of paint, some refurbishment to reinforce the door (which didn't feel super secure) and a good clean would've gone a long way. Also, watch out for the nails that are sticking up from the floor in the main room, as these were a bit of a shock on the feet! (Although they weren't sharp side up, thankfully). The kitchen facilities were appreciated but I didn't cook any special meals, as the kitchenette working space is very small so it wasn't super practical. Also, the bedroom and bed were pretty uncomfortable - the mattress is very thin and the duvet set was way too thick for the 28 degree heatwave that had taken Spa by force.

The location of the apartment was absolutely perfect, and had plenty of onstreet parking - we never once worried about getting parked up in the centre of Spa. It was also super easy to find and close to plenty of restaurants and the Spa baths, which we didn't get time to visit. It was easy to get into the apartment and collect the keys, and the rain shower in the bathroom was much appreciated. Having a television in the bedroom was also helpful as we were there for the 24h Spa GT race, so we could keep up on the action while half asleep. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the things we could've needed to cook with - pots, pans, cutlery, cutting boards, spatterguards, sieves, colanders - you name it, it was there! Plus a kettle, dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave, etc. so it was easy to make basic meals as needed. Really loved the bonus touch of some chocolates and water left on the table when we arrived - much appreciated after the long drive from the UK.
