"Staying at House Van Wassenhove was such a treat and a real experience. The house is absolutely stunning and really ticked the box for my brutalist obsessed boyfriend's birthday surprise! Sint-Martens-Latem is a beautiful area with lovely cycle routes and places to eat and drink." - Caitlin, oktober 2018
"Excellent location great for walks and cycling and most of all surrounded by amazing restaurants, I would recommend to anyone" -Kaushik, september 2018
"It was an extraordinary privilege to stay at House Van Wassenhove. In addition to the sheer joy of spending time in it, everything worked very well from the friendly reception to the excellent shower and bed. " - Jussi, september 2018

"The Van Wassenhove house is nothing short of spectacular for every fan of modernist/brutalist architecture. Gerry and the museum team were generous hosts, they provided us with all necessities and made us feel welcome. The De Keyser prints in the house are well-chosen and beautifully hung. The two city bikes are a nice extra with Ghent and the many local museums only a short ride away. We hope the house will stay on AirBnB for many more weekends so we can recommend it to our international friends! "- Lieven, augustus 2017
"Rare and exhilarating experience to stay in a true Brutalist house. Quiet place, almost spiritual with a connection to the outdoors: feels like outdoor and indoor are intertwined. The house is conveniently located with all sorts of restaurants and shops nearby. The two complimentary bikes provided are useful. A true gem!" - Christian, september 2017
"A stay in this house gives an impression of how it feels like to inhabit a space where much more thought was put into proportion, details and materials than it usually is. The result is a spatial and atmospheric experience which can hardly be put into words." - Marek, mei 2017
"An exceptional piece of brutalist architecture. Superb experience." - Pieter-Jan, mei 2017
"The beauty of this place cannot be overstated." - Andrew, juli 2017
It was fantastic week end with warm atomosphere of neighbourhood. Villa is the masterpiece which is well maintained, and original furnitures are still used. All the hosts was very warm and very nice to visit the museum where they are working for. The neighbourhood is very nice to explore with the bike. Thanks for the exquisite weekend!! - Ryosuke, juni 2016
