I had a very nice stay at Joelle's apartment...it is about 10 mins from the central station and maybe 20 to 25 mins walk to the old centre. There is a Velo bicycle station (they are found all over Antwerp and can be rented online) just a min walk from her place. There are also a couple of restaurants and bars close by. The apartment is spacious and well layout. There is also a washing machine in the apartment. Joelle and her boyfriend are very friendly and helpful.
