Flat in Hasselt, Belgium
My 103 m² brandnew apartment, situated on the second floor (with lift) in the very city centre offers a fully equipped kitchen in a sun filled livingroom, a laundry (with washing machine), 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and 2 bikes in the underground garage.
Hasselt, the capital of the Limburg province, offers nice shopping, outdoor and indoor swimming, 4 museums, a megascope, a theatre, a Japanese garden and lots of restaurants. Nearby is the natural park Midden Limburg, a recreation area with an open air museum on rural architecture. Huge efforts are made to create a bikers paradise (over 1.000 kms of separate bike paths). Sint-Truiden, Diest, Tongeren, Liège, Maastricht and Aachen are also very near. Leuven, Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges are within easy day access. Hasselt is even a good base to explore Holland, Western Germany and Luxemburg. Seniors over 65, also from abroad, can travel by train all over the country with a return ticket which only costs 7 euro per day.
The nearest airports are Brussels National Airport, Brussels South (Charleroi), Maastricht and Eindhoven.
Through two home exchange organizations I have been exchanging home since 1981 with over 115 families in very different countries all over Europe and in the USA and in Canada. In the Intervac blog you can read an extended interview titled "Belgian family reaches the magic number of 100 exchanges" or you can also google this title.

Überaus zufrieden. Guter Kontakt. Wohnung sehr schön. Große Hilfestellung. Abholung vom Bahnhof. Unterstützung vor Ort durch Familienmitglied.
Albert en Huguette zijn heel warme persoonlijkheden met wie het uiterst aangenaam is om te 'ruilen', al was mijn verblijf er om op twee katten te passen tijdens hun afwezigheid.
Nous n’avons pas séjourné chez Jos mais Jos est venu en homesitting chez nous. Nous avons eu d’excellents contacts avec lui et tout s’est très bien passé. Nous le remercions d’avoir pris soin de la maison et de nos chats et d’avoir accueilli nos partenaires d’échange irlandais.
