I stayed at the Hotel Amigo, just off the Grand Place.  We used to stay at this Hotel in 1970s and 1980s.  My Mother stored her car in their basement parking garage as well, when they were out of town for long periods of time.  Place Albert Leemans is the location of an apartment where we lived for 6 years; it is on a lovely rond point in the middle of town, close to Avenue Louis, where my Father had his Boeing International office.

I was glad to see that the Church on the Grand Sablon had been restored; the stained glass windows were precarious in their window frames.  The Petit Sablon was being cleaned, pressure-washed, and refurbished.

A meeting with the Managing Director of the Brussels Sotheby’s International Realty office on Avenue Louise resulted with a Windmill for sale in North Holland!
