We had a very nice time in Antwerp. The apartment is nice and cozy and bigger than we expected. It is simple, but nicely renovated and clean. We were a bit worried that there is no daylight because it is in a basement, but the little private garden compensates it. The neighborhood is multicultural and lively. Though the street is very quiet. Its close to the central station (10min walk). Its about 25 minutes walk to the old town center. We like to walk, so that was fine for us. If you look for something right next to cafes and restaurants, it might be not the right thing. Christel and Paul replied very quickly (we booked really short notice) and answered all our questions right away. We only got to see them once, when we arrived, but we felt welcome.
