I stayed for two months in one of Caroline and Klaas’ apartments and I can’t recommend it enough! These apartments are not institutional spaces filled with ikea furniture like 99% of airbnbs these days; they’re real old Antwerp apartments, in an old building, in a diverse, lively neighborhood. I felt like I got a real taste of life in this city.
My apartment was quite large, comfortable and well equipped. There’s a full kitchen, laundry and drier, nice bath/shower, comfortable bed, reliable and fast wifi. The neighborhood is a little rough around the edges, but safe-feeling and with lots of hip little spots if you know where to look.
I dealt mostly with Caroline and she was extremely responsive, kind and helpful. She took time to tell me about some places I might want to visit that were relevant to my work. I had a health scare at one point and she responded to my message at like 1:00am and helped me get to the hospital. She is a fantastic host!
Highly recommended!
