Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Townhouse with big garden facing south, 2km away from the city centre of the historical town Mechelen. We're well located as we're only 20 km away from Brussels and 20 km away from Antwerp. Ghent takes 55 km and Bruges 90 km. The house has 3 flours. In the ground floor you find a spacious open and bright room which includes living room, playroom and kitchen. From the living room, you have a look on the back garden which makes you feel like being in nature;-). Our kitchen has a lot of room as you will notice. We like to cook, so we need enough place. From the kitchen you have a look on the front garden and the street. The first floor exists of 3 bedrooms and a bathroom, one parent room with baby bed, one children's room and one . And in the second floor there are another 2 bedrooms that cannot be used yet (as we need to paint and decorate them). The garden is a very quiet place, with a nice lawn and lots of plants and flowers. There is a big trampoline, sandpit and some little swimming pool for the smallest. And of course there are garden table and chairs (umbrella and so on) to make you relax in the sun. The house is ideal for families with children as our 2 children (one 4 years old and one 6 months old) are having a lot of toys. Also we have all the baby equipment you need:-). We're having a cleaning lady. So there can be no worries about tidiness and cleanness during your holidays;-).

Our house is maybe not a large villa with luxuary, but for being close to a city and in between Antwerp and Brussels, it's quite a big house for Belgian standards. Also the garden is quite big compared to other city houses in Belgium. So we're lucky with this house;-). The house is situated in a very calm street and the neighbours are very quiet and friendly people. The house is equipped with everything you need. As said before the second floor we still need to paint and decorate the 2 rooms. So these rooms cannot be used yet, but everything is clean and finished (not in a ruin state). Until the first floor we can offer you a cosy, enlighted and pleasant house to enjoy your holidays In Belgium!

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

The house is close to the city life of Mechelen. At a time it has a quiet surrounding. It does not take long to be in the nature. Some nice walks and bicycle tours start from the house. Also there is a big recreational park in a distance of 5 minutes. Here you find sports fields, a swimming pool, a beach, swimming outside, playgrounds, etc. Only 4km away there is a very nice and big zoo where you can spend the day watching lions, elephants, penguins and so on. In short, there is plenty to do. Much more than I can describe here. If we can arrange a home exchange we offer you all the information you need to make you a wonderful holiday.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Mechelen is very nice town which has different historical buildings and musea to offer. It is very pleasant to make a walk by the river or wander around the park and making a coffee stop halfway. Shopping gurus will enjoy some beautiful and trendy shopping areas. Foodies will love the big choice of restaurants and pubs. Especially in Summer Mechelen is a very vivid town. In July and August the city offers many festivities like park concerts and concerts in open air, open air bars, and so on.

For people who want to discover Belgium and Northern Europe the location is perfect. Mechelen is very central in the North of Belgium. Pretty cities to visit as Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp, Brussels, Leuven, Liège etc. are very easy to travel to in one day. Our house is located only 1km from a station, from where you take the train to all these interesting cities. Public transport is the easiest way mostly as many cities suffer from parking problems and high parking fees. We can offer you all the information you need how and where to travel. Discovering Northern Europe is also very easy from our location. The Thalys train takes you very fast to Paris. The Eurostar train to London. Other cities can be reached by plane from Brussels airport, which is only 20 minutes away.
