We are a couple who like relaxed vacations with a combination of citytrip and nature. So far, we have had 17 very nice exchanges, mainly with our youngest son Nathan (who we unfortunately lost from cancer in 2022). Jo’s two oldest sons live on their own now, and sometimes join us for vacations. But most of the time it will be just the two of us.

Read More...On our regular tours of Antwerp we often wondered what it must be to live in one of those typical Flemish city houses with decorated facades and incredibly high ceilings – and now we know! They are so high that you can even hang your bike underneath it and won't even touch it with your head! Luckily there were some bikes standing on the floor too, which made going around Antwerp ever so easy! Yet the nicest parts of residential Antwerp were just a few minutes by foot: the bustling square Dageraadsplaats with its many teraces, restaurants and playgrounds of all sorts and the absolutely adorable art-nouveau Cogels-Osylei with its voluptuously decorated villa's. We enjoyed our stay at Liesbeth's and Jo's house very much, both the house and the location are very convenient and pleasant.

There was more than enough space, the kitchen was very well equipped and they supplied us with everything necessary for the perfect city trip to Antwerpen. Not only could we use their bikes and Burley, which is great for children, but they also gave us some personal advice of their favorite spots like the Dageraadplaats which we have been to almost every night. Their house is located in a very vibrant neighborhood which is very interesting for itself but also not too far away from the city center. We couldn't have found a better place to explore this wonderful city. Thank you very much!

Maar onze focus hopte van MHKA tot Middelheim beeldenpark over Rivierenhof om te eindigen in het MAS op 't Eilandje. In tussentijd veel gewandeld, gefietst, gegeten van Take Away om uiteindelijk na te genieten in de zetel met een streepje goede muziek. Maar wat kan een lang weekend toch verschrikkelijk kort zijn, want voor we het wisten waren wij terug in Gent. We blikken tevreden terug op een zeer geslaagde ruil! Bedankt Liesbeth, Jo en Nathan voor jullie gastvrijheid!

(hoewel we ook op Linkeroever zijn gaan fietsen, want Antwerpen is niet zó groot, alles is met de fiets te doen) Kortom: een hele fijne ervaring!

Het huis heeft een mooie gevel, en is leuk qua opzet met allemaal kleine trappetjes naar verschillende kamers. Het is voldoende in het centrum, zeker met het lenen van hun fietsen. Antwerpen is natuurlijk heel leuk, veel te doen en kregen een hele leuke tip van Liesbeth en haar zoon Nathan: het Red line museum. Fijne paar dagen gehad, hartelijk dank!

Read More...Liesbeth and Jo have a lovely town-house with plenty of room in a nice and quiet neighbourhood. It’s within very easy reach of the city center by bike and we had a great time exploring almost every street (or so it felt) in Antwerpen on their bikes. There’s a lot to see in Antwerpen and still the town is small enough to get to know your way around. Close to the house is a lovely square with restaurants and bars - good food and many fantastic Belgian beers, so you have everything you could possibly need at hand. Thanks again for letting us stay in your cosy and homely home.

We loved the natural swimming pond, Summerbar and Dageraadsplein. The house felt very welcoming and really like a home away from home. Also we had a great get-together in our house with this very nice family. Worth repeating!

Beliggenhet
Beskrivelse av vårt nabolag og området rundt
Antwerp is known for its fashion, diamonds, port, architecture and rich history. But it also offers numerous opportunities for culture and entertainment, and has a lively 'hip' scene. The "Summer in Antwerp" and "Winter in Antwerp" festivals (respectively in July-Aug. and around Christmas) give an extra to that, with cultural events, pop up bars etc.
We live in a lively multicultural neighbourhood with a lot of young families. Our street is close to public transport and 'city bike' stations. Our neighbourhood is within the 'ring' (highway around Antwerp) and the historical center is about 15' by tram or bike. At walking distance we have 2 nice squares with restaurants, pubs and terraces. We live close to the "Zurenborg" district and het Cogels-Osylei, that is known for its beautiful neoclassical and art nouveau houses.

Våre tips til steder å gå og ting å gjøre mens du bor i vårt hjem
All architectural and cultural places of interest in Antwerp are close by. There are lots of possibilities to go out or go shopping, and there are nice things to do with children. At walking distance we have 2 nice squares with restaurants, pubs and terraces. The most famous is the Dageraadplaats, which is also very childfriendly (pubs: Zeezicht, Camping Campina, Moeskop, ... / restaurants: Overzicht, Overzee, Strand Van Oostende, El Warda,...). An upcoming place is the Moorkensplein (coffee house Mokakapot, pub Mombasa, restaurants Bar Luca and Miró).
Just outside the city center there are nice parks to walk and play, and there is a nature reserve (moorland) north of Antwerp (30' by car).
From Antwerp, there are good connections (by train or car) with other Belgian or Dutch cities as Brussels (30'), Ghent (50'), Bruges (1.20h) and Rotterdam (1.30h) or to the Belgian seaside (1.30h). (indicated times are by train)

Hva vi liker, hva vi ikke liker ... Her er våre preferanser og husordensregler.
It is important to us to find the house neat and tidy when we get back.
Jo is a little allergic to cats, so we cannot stay in an house with (long haired) cats that stay inside.
We are open for shorter exchanges (weekend, long weekend or midweek in school vacations) not too far from Antwerp (< 200 km).
