Christel’s apartment was bright and airy and it was lovely to retire to the living area after a day out exploring beautiful Antwerp. The apartment is on the first floor, however to get from the bathroom and kitchen to the bedroom and living room you have to climb about six very steep and narrow stairs without a railing. There is a night light that comes on when you need to go down the stairs to the bathroom during the night which is very helpful. The stairs to the apartment are quite steep and narrow but do have a hand rail.
Christel was very easy to communicate with and very helpful however we found her description of the area - located in the city's coolest and most upcoming neighbourhood – a tad off the mark. The location is good but definitely not our idea of cool. The apartment is in a good location as it is a very easy walk to the station and the nice areas such as Grote Markt, Vlaeykensgang, MAS Museum Rooftop and Meir, the main shopping street in Antwerp
