A Taste Of Belgium

Only a 15 minutes drive from the airport and from the Grand Place our Bed and Breakfast welcomes you, be it for business or leisure. We have two cozy guest rooms each with access to a large terrace. We will be pleased to give you a great 'Taste of Belgium'.

'Chocolate' Room:
This private double bed room is located on last level of our house overlooking the garden. The large rear terrace next to the kitchenette is only a few steps down. The shower room is shared with the family members only. There are two separate toilets to be shared.

'After Eight' Room:
Just like the 'Chocolate' room, but with more masculine touch and a larger TV.

Both guest rooms include the following:
- Cable TV (DVD player and movies upon request).
- Internet connection (WI-FI and cable)
- Radio alarm clock, CD player
- Two toilets are available for the guest and familly
- Use of the kitchenette (sink, fridge, microwave)

Service:
We wish, of course, to give you 'A Taste of Belgium' and to offer those little things we hope you will enjoy:
- The 'Welcome Basket': fruit and other local goodies
- The 'Belgian Breakfast': home made bread, fresh pressed orange juice, Nespresso coffee, tea , hot chocolate, cereals, jams, cheese and ham, fruits, yogurt, etc.
- The evening 'Aperitif': We will be happy to share a drink with you which is probably the best way to get to know each other. This is valid every day of your stay, but if we cannot be together at that time of the day, you're invited to pick a special Belgian beer, a glass of wine or a soft drink from the fridge.
- One bottle of mineral water per person per day is included
- Ice cubes are provided upon request

Voila!, I hope all info is clear & complete.

Directions

Plane:
- the international airport of Brussels is 15 minutes away. Train or taxi (about �25) connection to the center of Brussels. - the airport of Charleroi is 60km away. You can take the shuttle to station 'MIDI-SOUTH-ZUID' and from there take the train to 'SCHAERBEEK' station (see below). Taxi will cost you around �100.

Train:
- From any of the Brussels train stations (South, Central or North) you will find a direct connection to the 'Schaerbeek' station (400m away from our b&B). There are about 5 trains an hour and it will only take you about 10 minutes to get there. Check your itinerary on www.sncb.be
-Walk from Schaerbeek station to our B&B: with the main door of the Schaerbeek train station in your back, walk straight up the large avenue in front of you (Avenue Huart Hamoir) until you reach the Church (300m). Then, with the main door of the church in your back, take the street on your left, the one with houses on left and parc on right. Stay on that side walk for 100m. When the side walk turns left (next to the round about), you have reached our street (rue Nestor de Ti�re), stop at number 17.

Car:
- the ring road will bring you to one of the following exits: from East choose the E40 (between EXIT 3 and EXIT 4) and immediately head towards 'Brussels'. Then follow signs 'Meiser'. From Shouth, West or North choose A12 (between EXIT 7 and EXIT 8) and right after follow 'Laeken'.
Check out on www.mappy.com for last mile details or call us +32 496 28 55 53. I'll be your live GPS.

Tram:
-Up to 20h00: you will need two trams: line 4 up to station 'North Station', and then take line 55 direction 'Bordet' and stop at 'Helmet'
-After 20h00: direct connection from 'South' and 'North' train stations to our B&B via Tram line 33, direction 'Bordet' stop at 'Helmet'.

Taxi:
-Very good service and reasonable price, we really recommend the taxi to get into and back from the city. They cost less than �14 one way. To avoid (rare) surprises, let the driver know you are aware of the price before you get into the taxi. Try something like 'I'm going to the Helmet area in Schaerbeek, do you know where it is ? This is about �14, right ?'

Nobody Home ?
As Bed&Breakfast we have other activities, thus please let us know about your arrival time. In the event you change your arrival, please advise us. Last solution if we are not there: you can drop your luggage at our neighbours (Student Association AEGEE, 15 rue Nestor de Ti�re) and visit the city.
