I had my most comfortable stay to date at Joelle's apartment. I lived in an enormous loft located on the top floor of their equally enormous house. There were high ceilings and tasteful decorations in every room. I was given the best recommendations for Belgian food, bars, cheap eats, and attractions in town. The city offers a lot of interesting history and friendly locals with their own stories to tell. My jaw dropped when I arrived at the train station and I haven't been able to pick it up again. Antwerp was one of the most beautiful and cozy places I stopped in. I wish I could stay longer and that one day I'll return.
