Severine's penthouse apartment is a fantastic base for a trip to Brussels. It is extremely roomy, spotless and in a beautiful town with a 12-minute ride to the absolute center of Brussels on public transport.
Just across the street, there's a path through a meadow on a farm with horses and a windmill and when you get through that path which takes about 7 minutes. There's a grocery store, a luxury, five star hotel, and several other businesses and restaurants.
But then we discovered that you could also return left down the beautiful path by the stream. Just passed the school about a hundred yards left of the front door and walk along that stream which includes a pond and a mill with the water wheel and you'll pass the commercial side of town, but you'll never even see it. But if you do want to shop, there's a mall with dozens of stores and then a gourmet grocery store called Rob. People drive from all over this region to shop there because it's not only a great grocery store, but there's a fantastic wine cellar in the basement with perhaps 20,000 bottles.
Beautiful apartment. Fantastic place from which to explore the Brussels region...
Five stars all the way
