The restaurant of Seppe Nobels, Graanmarkt 13, is for sure another reason to go back. Yesterday, in Luzern, we … More Back home😍
Our airbnb appartment in Brussels is great, lots of light, a small terrace, a cosy living room with kitchen. My social day program is really busy. Iris has a lot of meetings at work.
