Stayed at Jan's St-Gilles 2nd floor apartment from January 30 to February 17. There's an elevator in the apartment, if needed. Two Metro stations are close by. You can use your credit card to enter and exit the Metro station. I didn't take any buses or trams during my stay. It's less than a 20 minute walk to Brussels Zuid-Midi, where you can take trains to anywhere in Belgium and Europe. I took several day trips via train during my stay. If you're age 65+, it's only €7.80 for a round trip daily ticket within Belgium. I used two SNCB apps, one for international itineraries and the other for within Belgium. The apps were very helpful in planning trips. Jan has a very thorough Visitors Guide binder that covers the house rules, tips, recommendations, etc. Jan's wifi connection worked very well without interruption. Very nice shower with excellent hot water supply. I had a very relaxing and enjoyable time at Jan's place. I highly recommend.
