USC1454Location, location, location. From reading the listing and researching, we expected a great location. The people of Sint Truiden made our stay even better than expected. From coffee and croisants a block away, the terrific Saturday market just three blocks away, the Museum of many locations, to the fabulously competitive restaurants, Sint Truiden is extraordinary. The Clerinx family home is a great blending of old and contemporary. The Clerinx Family are Survivors of the great "2022 airline misplaced my luggage" for the entire duration of our exchange. Thanks for the adventure.
