Madeleine was the perfect hostess--extremely helpful and patient (we arrived a day late, due to a cancelled flight) but also unobtrusive. Her house is so charming, and our room and bath were inviting and comfortable. We had everything we needed, including tour books in multiple languages, and Madeleine provided written directions that helped us find bus and train stations we needed. Her wonderful breakfast was made more special by the presence that morning of her precious granddaughter, Inez. We would definitely stay with Madeleine again if we're ever lucky enough to return to Brussels.
