Anne and Criso were very welcoming and helpful but still let me feel comfortable about doing my own thing The breakfast "en famille" at the little kitchen table with Anne and their 17 year-old son, Mathieu, was very congenial. (Anyone who has their own 17 year-old son knows what a compliment that is!) The neighborhood of Saint - Gilles was great. I walked out in the evening and the plazas and parks were full of families, kids on bikes and skates, dog walkers and teen-agers acting upon their spring fever with the end of school approaching. A pedestrian mall full of open-air restaurants offers something for everyone. A longer walk in the morning, brought me to the Grand-Place and a full days - worth of entertainments. Note that it is a single bed and accommodates a solo traveller. Merçi beaucoup Anne, Criso et Mathieu!!
