Valerie and Michael's place is in a prime location, smack bang in the middle of a classy neighbourhood. There's lots of great restaurants nearby but also several grocery stores if you want to eat in. The house is old but beautiful and like its neighbours, it is a charming building (sweet little balcony and all). As hosts, Valerie and Michael really understand the importance of the little things. There was a lovely welcoming tray of goodies (tea, coffee, cake & wine), a fantastic guidebook that'll take you off the typical tourist trail and an umbrella. This last touch was very appreciated since it rains in Belgium much of the year. Communication was easy with Valerie and Michael, no question is too silly. I became ill during my stay and they even offered to take me to a doctor, which is so kind. They were also very flexible with my late check out. All in all a great stay that I wished was a longer one.
