Carine & her sister were sweet and gracious hosts. I stayed with a friend and my 6 year old daughter and we had a lovely experience. The bus stop is extremely close to her duplex and connects up to the metro and the north train station. This made it easy for us to get to the airport, the center of the city, museums and the train station. We felt it was a good location to stay in, which was important for us since we had a jet-lagged 6 year old with who would get tired of walking long distances. Carine was always very responsive to all messages I sent her. Since there was no one staying the day before or the day after me, she was flexible with the dates I stayed and had no problem approving me to add an additional day onto my stay if I needed it. She was also flexible with the check in time and let us arrive in the morning so we could take a nap after arriving on an international flight. Carine left very good maps of the city and the public transportation, which made it easy to get around. She also asked what we were interested in doing in Belgium and left brochures with kind handwritten notes and the addresses of her favorite restaurants, bars, and chocolate shops. All of the places that she recommended were wonderful. She resolved an accidental incident that we had kindly, fairly and graciously. We were extremely happy with our stay and I highly recommend this place to anyone. I will recommend it to all of my friends.
