First of all I must say that staying in Borgerhout is probably the best way to get to know Antwerp: the neighborhood reflects the changes of the whole city in the last decades, and in the same time it is really near to the historical center and to most of the places you would wish to visit.
But the real added value of this accommodation are the hosts. Fronk and Lieve are that kind of people who have a real experience of life and the world, and use it to be open to and respectful of those they meet. Their house is not only a place, but a real hub connecting people. It's been a beautiful experience to stay in Antwerp for the first time living at their place.
