Since this was my first time in Europe and Belgium, I wanted to stay somewhere that would allow me to interact with the locals. Peter's loft was the perfect place for me. His daughter met me at the door and welcomed me inside. Peter was more than welcoming when I arrived, being sensitive to my long journey, and how tired I would be. We were able to talk a bit and Peter was extremely helpful in giving me advise about the city, where to go, where to eat, and what to see. The loft was as advertised, comfortable, spacious, and clean. The bathroom accommodations were also very comfortable and clean. It was very nice to have my own bathroom. The neighborhood was about 1.5 mile from the city center, with a very beautiful walk to get there. I was very happy I decided to stay with Peter instead of staying at a hotel. I would certainly recommend, and would certainly stay with Peter again.
