Ah, Bernard was a fantastic host, he always kept in touch with us, in order to see if everything was properly fine, and it was: the
* appartment was so charming; the beds so confortable, the apliances all brand new, it's locations is (in my opinion) the best in the city, so we could go on foot wherever in the center we want to*
And Bernard did such nice things that weren't their job: he offered us a "nocture promenade" around the Grand Place with us, which was so pleasant, he bought a map of the city (which helped 100%), he told us the good places to visit, to eat, and other lots of things...
I stayed in an appartment in Paris (also a 'location de vacance'), and I can tell: I wasn't recieved with such a hospitality as I was 'chez Bernard' ! And this was crucial to me since I was in an unknown country and I didn't know where to go to in the beggining.
Thank you Bernard, because you didn't do only a host job, but you were a friend in Brussels!
