Manu greeted me upon my arrival and Anne arrived not long after. Manu showed me a map of the city and suggested many great places and sites to visit, and then Anne showed me around the house. IT. IS. BEAUTIFUL! Seriously, this is my dream home, filled with antiques and books and charm. Their office reminded me of the library from Beauty and the Beast! I threatened to move in permanently after being inside for less than an hour. ;)
The house itself is in a great location, close to the train/bus station and within walking distance to pretty much everything you'll want to see.
Manu and Anne were kind and lovely, as were their kids (young adults, in case you were worried about little ones running around), who I met only briefly. I would not hesitate to stay there again. If I go back to Antwerp, I'll go back to their home.
P.S. Dennis (the dog) was a fun addition, too!
