The greatest advantage of this apartment in the position. It’s a short walk (about ten minutes) from the station and is located on the Meir, arguably the liveliest shopping avenue in Antwerp. It’s close to all the main attractions and eating areas within the historic town centre. I enjoyed reaching “home” in a few minutes, after visiting some of the main tourist sites. There’s a Jumbo City supermarket just 5 minutes away on foot. There’s a price that comes with the perfect position, however. You pay €3 per person per night in tourist city tax – something to consider if you’re travelling in a big group. The apartment is bright and pleasant and despite being on a busy road, it’s very quiet because it faces an internal courtyard, I imagine that this apartment is suited more to travellers who don’t plan to stay indoors much. The big glass windows that run along one entire side of the apartment, while letting in a lot of light, don’t afford much privacy (admittedly, though, I didn’t see anyone cross the internal courtyard but there are office and unit windows all around) and on hot, sunny days the windows let in a lot of light and heat. For these two reasons, you probably need to keep the curtains nearly always drawn. The internet connection comes and goes but this seems to be a general problem in Antwerp. I was only at the apartment in the evenings so the position outweighed any of these disadvantages. The only other thing that I would add is that be aware that you have to pick up the key from an office that is 15 minutes’ walk from the apartment. Coming from the station, it’s quite a trip to pass by the office first and then continue on to the apartment (about 40mins). At the office, Luca is friendly and helpful and has a wealth of information. He has a map and explains everything in detail. He is obliging and insisted you let him know if there are any problems with the property. He’s obviously eager to satisfy customers and that’s appreciated. Thank you,
