Maude's basement flat is very stylish and comfortable. It was very clean and was perfect for our two nights' trip to Brussels. It is very handy (a few mins walk) for the Bruxelles Midi (Zuid) train station (very fast and regular trains to the airport). We recommend the nearby Place St. Gilles for nice restaurants and bars in a lovely (old Paris kind of thing) square. Great transport links into the city centre which is not far. Maude was a delightful host who speaks very good English and French, as well as being kind and informative. She also allowed us to check our bags in rather early. Highly recommended.
