ALREADY HAVE EXCHANGES FOR SPRING / SUMMER 2024.
My adorable cat, Blackie, comes as part of the exchange.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
ONLY LOOKING FOR NEW EXCHANGES FROM SEPT 2024 ONWARDS
Hi! We live in a lovely two bedroom duplex just a short walk away from central Brussels, which can sleep 4 people comfortably.
We have an adorable cat who would ideally like to stay home as part of the exchange!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our immediate neighbourhood is very quiet and safe - but also close to a number of great cafés, bars and restaurants. My daughter is a big foodie and has a lot of good recommendations (info in our guest book!)
We live very centrally - 2 minutes away from the Arts-Loi metro station, 5 minutes from our local tram and bus stops, 5-15 minutes away from the Central Station and a very short walk to the downtown (less than 15 minutes).
We are right next to the Royal Park, which is lovely for a walk or a run, and also has a children's playground.
There are several smaller supermarkets nearby and our nearest big supermarket is accessible by metro ( three stops).
We are close to both the Avenue Louise and Rue Neuve shopping districts, as well as a 10 minute metro ride to Woluwe Shopping mall.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Everything Brussels has to offer is practically on your doorstep!
We are right next to the Royal Park, which is lovely for a walk or a run, and also has a children's playground. In this park is the Theatre du Parc, which, if you time your visit right, has various French theatre productions, usually during the fall and winter seasons.
We are close to both the Avenue Louise and Rue Neuve shopping districts, as well as a 10 minute metro ride to Woluwe Shopping mall.
There are a many museums nearby, such as the Bozar, the Beaux-arts, the Coudenburg museum and the Music Museum.
From the nearby Central Station, day trips possible throughout Belgium - Antwerp, Gent, Bruges, the Coast…
Trains from the Midi Station will take you to Paris, Amsterdam, Cologne, London - all 2 hours or less.
