This stay was our very first experience with Airbnb, and it definitely did not disappoint! Our host, Paul (Christel was away for work), went above and beyond our expectations to welcome us and to make sure we had enough local information to enjoy visiting Antwerp. He was very flexible and patient with our arrival and departure times which changed slightly. We enjoyed a relaxed introduction to Antwerp and an overview of the apartment upon arrival, and he took lots of time to mark important sites on the map for us. We found this extra help especially valuable because we could do a number of things that are not in tour books, which were very memorable and highly enjoyable. We enjoyed a great conversation with Paul late into the evening of our arrival. The apartment is located a short walk from the central train station in a safe neighborhood, and it is easy to find restaurants nearby. The apartment is also beautiful, spacious, and spotless. An outdoor terrace is available to welcome in the morning or to close down the evening. Just to sum up, we would highly recommend staying at Paul and Christel’s apartment when you’re in Antwerp. It was the perfect introduction to Airbnb and we will definitely be back to both.
