Alin was actually away during my stay in Brussels, however his Mother welcomed me very nicely into his home and helped me with all of the things I needed to know about the place. She was so lovely, and helped make the bed, while she made every effort to speak to me in English! :-)
Alin's house mates, Mary and Emilio were also lovely while I stayed in the apartment. It was quite nice listening to the piano practice sometimes from Emilio!
