The apartment is very large and has everything you need, including a parking space. The facility is a bit old, but still okay. There is a direct view of the sea, but access to the beach must be via one of the two tram stations (~10 minutes on foot). The tram line and the expressway between Oostende and de Haan run right next to the apartment house and can be heard in the living room. We didn't hear anything about it in the SZ. We felt good.
