Weekend Getaway
We were looking for a quick weekend getaway from Copenhagen. We'd never been to Antwerp and we aren't city central type people. Christophe's townhouse was PERFECT! It is located a short walk from the Berchem train station and about a 30 minute walk from the Centrale station, in a fairly quiet, family neighborhood. The house itself is very comfortable with all the amenities one could need. The host and his partner even had the refrigerator stocked with a large bottle of water, some soft drinks, and a bottle of wine. How thoughtful! My only concern, which wasn't a major concern was the staircases. They are rather short and steep, but not worrisome. Just something to note for a young family or someone with mobility concerns. The beds were very comfortable, with plenty of extra pillows and blankets. Again, every detail was thought of. And Christophe and his partner live just next door for any additional questions or concerns.Around the corner is Jardin Public. I highly recommend this restaurant cafe, as my wife is a non-drinker and they had an excellent selection or mocktails. Between the townhouse and the train station are a number of restaurants, bakeries and corner shops. Do yourself a favor and go to the Simply Bakery for cupcakes. The selection is amazing and the owner is so kind! We were able to get into downtown by foot easily, although you could rent bikes just outside the house too. Overall, a wonderful stay! We would definitely come here again!
