My wife and I organized a trip with my parents to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, and we were so thankful to stay in Elodie’s lovely place. We loved the surrounding neighborhood. My Dad and I went out a couple mornings and got coffee and pastries at the shops around the corner, and we dined in several other of Elodie’s recommended restaurant spots, and they were all lovely. We used the bus, tram, and Uber to get to and from central Brussels and the train station which took us to Bruges, Ghent, and Leuven. On New Year’s Eve, we went out to an early dinner, then opted to come back to Elodie’s place for a relaxed end to the year. This ended up being a really good decision for several reasons. We lounged luxuriously in their cozy ground floor, snacking on bread and cheese (picked up at the grocery store earlier that day) and streaming The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. When it got to be close to midnight, a beautiful surprise: We could see lots of fireworks out the stairway window between the 2nd and 3rd floor! A magic moment for all of us! :) We didn’t really know how we were going to spend NYE with my folks, but what came together was perfect, and it couldn’t have happened had we stayed anywhere else. Thanks again!
