  Fabulous place! Live like a local in a luxury setting

  When we first arrived in Antwerp and got to our building, we didn't know what to expect- we knew it wasn't a hotel, more like apartments, so we were a little apprehensive. But the moment we entered (we got 2 of the 3 apartments in the building -2nd and 3rd floor- and were alone for most of the time - so we really felt like it was our home!) we were so amazed! The places were beautifully decorated, modern but very tastefully done, gorgeous bathroom, comfortable bed with impacable sheets, plenty of towels in the bathroom, nice living area with great tv, computer with internet in the room, everything is clean and new,fresh flowers when we arrived (nice touch) great view of the statue of Poseidon (which we also used as a reference point as all the streets led to it, so we couldn't get lost). They gave us vouchers for breakfast every day of our stay to a little cozy place nearby, where they have delicious pastries and coffee, and if we needed more towels or anything at all, we would call Chris, who is like the caretaker of the apartments (and conveniently lives across the street!:), and he would bring it to us, in a very prompt manner. The area is great, close to all kinds of nice restaurants and coffee houses, also 5 minutes walk from the Museum of Art (not to be missed) and the beautiful Cathedral, which is the focal point of Antwerp. We also were close enough to walk to their main shopping street, very nice, and to Rubens' house, which is off that shopping street (just ask any guy that sells waffles on the street:)). Night life is pretty cool in Antwerp, so we went into town and it was a pleasure to come back to our place, like it was our home. Antewerp is approx. 1 and 1/2 hours from Brugge, so we took the train and went there- something extremely unique, a jewel of history and art! We absolutely LOVED the place, the people who run it are so attentive and willing to please, we strongly recommend it! Belgium was a wonderful experience and Antwerp was a beautiful piece of it. I miss it now as I write this review and I want to return and explore it some more! Next time we go to Antwerp we will definitely stay at the Miauw!!
