    Hey,
    i'm hoping to be in Belgium for June.
    Trying to find good resources for finding a place to stay/rent for all of June. Ideally, it would be somewhere near Poperigne.
    And no, let's not let this get into a discussion of other places to stay in Belgium :slight_smile:

    hoping you guys had some help. thanks

    There are a couple of places on Airbnb and others somewhat nearby. I'm not as familiar with other vacation rental sites, but you'll likely have some more options on those as well.

    I know someone who rents out guest houses, little 3-bedroom cottages in the country near Poperinge. Too big for you? I can find out details if it seems relevant. I don't remember offhand exactly where it was because it was more than 10 years ago. But I can find out fairly readily, I just need to ask my friend who's family member has the place

    No info. for a place to stay, but consider booking a cheap hotel room for a few days and then talking to locals in Poperinge about a longer term rental. I've used this strategy many times in my world travels. I've always found a less expensive option to what's available online. Plan on renting a good bike for the duration. The region is prime biking country and it will be essential to your experience.

    that's a thought, but it may be an expensive thing to do if i don't have success

    There is an element of risk, but I've never had difficulty. Local offices and word of mouth turn up places not advertised out of the area.

    Try this link and set for Canadian dollar -https://www.tripping.com/rentals?currency=usd&search-filter-bedrooms-options=0&search-filter-bathrooms-options=0&sort=search-sort-price-asc&search-filter-type-options=Any&search-filter-show-without-price=checked&search-filter-price-range=10%3B100000&search-filter-trip-numguests=1&search-filter-keywords=&search-filter-radius-distance=5&bounds=&search-input=Poperinge%2C+Belgium&rental-type=&lat=50.8549596&long=2.7267929&radius=

    Mail them, and explain you will stay for a month. Then they will surely make some kind of deal with you...

    I'll see my friend (niece of the owner) this week, in case you want to pass along a detailed question or inquiry.
