We are not entirely sure what is required to call a home 'wheelchair accessible'. What we do know is that people who are in a wheelchair rent the apartment regularly. Because you know your needs best, we have provided floor plans of our holiday homes showing the dimensions of all doorways in the property. THE APARTMENT is most suitable for wheelchair users. The elevator door measures 88 cm. The apartment is located on the sixth floor and is accessible by elevator via the main entrance. THE LOFT is also wheelchair accessible, but with a few reservations. The rear entrance via Troonstraat offers a slight slope (no stairs). The elevator is 85 cm deep and 100 cm wide. The elevator door is 74,5 cm wide. The front door is 81 cm wide. You can move around easily in the living room and kitchen with a wheelchair. However, you cannot drive a wheelchair alongside the bed.
