this is a stunningly beautiful and peaceful apartment. stefan is warm, friendly, kind, and funny. he knows the city well and gave me an annotated "young people's" map of brussels that made me feel very hip. i felt totally at home here, walked easily to wonderful cafes, shops, and restaurants, and essentially had a most wonderful impromptu adventure in brussels seeing great art and making new friends. stefan's place was a lovely perch for all of it.
