We are Hans and Sonja, both retired high school teachers in their mid sixties. We love traveling and exploring nice cities. One of our favorites is Stockholm and its amazing archipelago which we would love to visit again in summertime. The south of Europe would be ideal in the month of May.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in a very quiet street in a residential area, yet only 1,5 miles away from beach and town centre. Also on walking distance from shops and public transport. Only 10 miles (15 min by car) to stunning medieval Bruges, a Unesco World Heritage site with lots of museums and things to do. Plenty of restaurants, nice shops and,... chocolate of course ! Ghent, Brussels and Antwerp - as well as Lille in France - are just a 1hr drive away (by car or train). High speed trains will take you to Paris, Amsterdam or Cologne. Even London is but a 3 hour drive away through the Channel Tunnel in Calais (France).

Our house will be immaculately clean and would love to find it back in the same condition when returning home. Bed- and bath linen will be provided but don't bother washing it at the end of your stay. We would appreciate you watering some of the plants.
