We highly recommend staying at Kristof’s place. The view out to the opera house is beautiful and it is very close to the city. Not only this, but Kristof is a fantastic host and provided us with some great tips about spots to eat and drink. We recommend the Omelette at Kristof’s cafe downstairs in the morning if you have a hangover from the delish Belgian beers!
The only caution would be that there can be noise from the bar downstairs on some nights.
