My brother and I only stayed at Philippe's place for a night due to a layover, but I wish I could have stayed longer. The studio was small but cozy enough for 2. The beds were very comfortable and I loved the windows in the flat. The room also had a very strong wifi signal, which was great as I had a few hours of work to do. Phillippe was very welcoming and hospitable, which I appreciated, as he has a few properties he and his wife manages. He gave us a map of the town, and even let store our bags after check out so we could walk around.
Also the location is perfect!Though it was the "tourist" center, I loved how historic the area was. The area felt very safe walking around. It is maybe a 5 min walk to grand place, which is beautiful. There are also tons of food options and some very cool bars. Highly recommend going to Bar Des Amis for a few beers and to take in the decor.
All and all, I'm glad I stayed, and will definitely be staying again if/when I'm in Brussels again.
