Herman is the perfect host. We arranged to arrive earlier than the standard check in time We had an expansive conversation about the sights of Brussels, the Belgium culture and more. We parked our vehicle outside his home and used the Metro to access the city (5 minute walk to the station and 10 minutes to the centre). He gave us a a map, his umbrella and we were off to the city. On our late arrival home he showed us to our comfortable and spacious room. In the morning over breakfast we talked about our city experience and Herman made some suggestions for the second day of sightseeing that would compliment what we had already done. Herman's interaction with his guests is measured, offering advice and guidance but also giving plenty of space.
