Our time in Antwerp was lovely. We came on a Monday so nearly everything was closed. We managed to find a few open restaurants and bars. Alexanders apartment is located above a flower shop that you actually walk through. The building is beautiful with its spiral staircases and wooden ceilings. The apartment is very warm and cozy. We had been traveling for a few days at that point and the room was just what we needed a very relaxing environment. Being it was a Monday the streets were quiet but this apartment looks out onto the main road so we did catch some late night noises. The central square where a series of places to eat and drink is maybe a five minute walk away. It's also a quick bus ride from the train station. Alexander was easy to connect with if need be. There were fresh flowers on the table when we arrived which was very sweet.
