Appartment is very good. Just some things to consider if one of the below is important to you.
PROs:
- very modern and state of the art building with elevator
- no noisy neighbours, we actually did not hear anyone in the building ever
- you can park in the basement of the building (entry is the one next to the main gate on right hand, open it from inside)
- interior is very good
- toilet and shower is seperated
- kitchen with induction and dishwasher
- Villo Bike station in front (use for 1,65€/day and free within that ticket for every 30 min of your first bike, you can reset the 30 min by simply swapping your bike after 29 min)
- supermarket at the corner of the same building
CONs:
- the area around the canal is as of early 2022 still in building
- the appartment does a good job in absorbing noise however high frequencies like sirens from police on the street can still be heared inside (and there are some since the street there has heavy traffic)
- only one smoke detector in the entrance and none in the living room
Consider:
- no deepfreezer in the fridge
- bring extra HDMI cable if you wanna use laptop with the tv
- you do not have a view on the canal however this did not bother us, the city skyline was great as well
- there is one shared large blanket
- curtains do not make the room completely dark if you easily wake up from light (I‘d guess 90% darker)
A tip from us: If you visit brussel make sure to visit the Bois de la Cambre park in the south in summer. Great place for a drink, a walk or renting a small boat.
