It was very interesting experience in the lovely part of Brussels. The apartment is located walking distance from major EU institutions as well as green areas (lakes and parks) of the city. You can also reach the city centre on feet if you like walking. The place is surrounded by a multicultural areas with fruit and veggie shops as well as some shops that sell ethnic artefacts. Lies and her family made me feel at home, they were always available when I needed to ask something, interact. At the same time, they respected my privacy and needs. They have two adorable kids who add a feeling of life and joy. I was in Brussels for work and since I still have not got friends in that city, I decided to stay with the family in order not to feel lonely during white long trip. It worked out at the end
