Antwerp remains more affordable than Brussels while offering comparable career opportunities.

Yes. Corporate bookings are consolidated into one invoice covering every apartment, with purchase order numbers, cost centres and any references your finance team requires. HR and mobility managers get one contact person for all placements rather than one per apartment, and framework agreements are available for recurring volumes.
From the city centre, the port authority building on Het Eilandje is around 10 minutes; the terminals in the northern port area are 25 to 40 minutes by car depending on the dock.

Rent includes furniture, a fully equipped kitchen, bed linen and towels, Wi-Fi, TV, water, gas and electricity. Not included: your own groceries, personal transport, parking where the building charges separately for it, and any cleaning beyond the final clean, which can be added on request.
