FR130833Evelyne and Kurt were delightful hosts.
The house is lovely, big, comfortable and very well located, close to the center but in a quiet area.
We were alllowed to use their bikes and it was then very easy to wander around Bruges and its surroundings.
They took excellent care of our house and our cat.
A memorable and successful home exchange.
