Flat in Hasselt, Belgium

My 148 m² apartment, situated on the fourth floor (with lift) in the very city centre offers a fully equipped kitchen, a sun filled spacious lounge dining room (with cable tv, vcr, dvd, hi fi), a laundry (with washing machine and tumbler), 2 bedrooms, 1 study with sofa bed, 2 bathrooms 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 100 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.
