Lonneke welcomed us with great kindness, cordiality: accompanied by various flights of narrow stairs, typical of historic buildings in northern Europe, to the third and top floor where the apartment is located. When we opened the door we were amazed because the window on the roofs of the city is truly suggestive, exciting, romantic. The apartment is clean and well-kept: there is a well-equipped kitchen cabinet and a spacious bathroom. The bed is comfortable, the room temperature is easily adaptable to various needs with a remote control. The apartment is basic but there is everything you need to feel at ease. The situation is silent and restful, the only sound presences are the hum of the fridge every now and then and the chatter of pigeons on the roof.
We were lucky enough to find free parking next to the Scheldt River, a few hundred meters from the house: the car was parked there for three days without any problems. You need a little luck and understand the right times, but it is a really convenient parking; in the area there are various covered paid parking lots that are quite expensive.
The location is perfect for visiting the city center and enjoying the charm of Antwerp.
Lonneke helped us with advice and directions regarding places and travel.
