This is a very particular type of airbnb, and it is not for everyone. It is about 20 minutes away from the central station, but it isn't in the nicest part of the city. That flat itself is rather messy and does not feel very homey. It has the necessities, but not much more. Oreste smokes in the house, so the main living space smells of smoke, but he is considerate and will not smoke when you are present if it bothers you, and the room you'll stay in doesn't smell at all like smoke. There is no curtain in the shower and the hot water is extremely temperamental. The internet is great. Bring your own towels, as they are not provided, and you may wish to bring a nicer pillow too, as the one provided is a small couch pillow. Oreste asks that you make zero noise after 10pm, as the walls are paper thin. Some of the neighbors upstairs were pretty noisy, but it didn't bother me personally. I have stayed in many airbnbs, and this is one of the only ones in wish I never really felt at ease in the apartment.

That said, Oreste is a really nice guy. He immediately offered me tea when I arrived and sat down and talked to me. He appreciates challenging philosophical and historical conversations, so you'll get along well with him if that's your thing. He also insisted that I eat breakfast in the mornings before heading out, and he offered me some very good homemade bread that he had just prepared. I can't say anything bad about Oreste as a host. He did everything I could of asked and him and was very kind. He is fluent in English and French (and potentially other languages, not sure).

In the end, I don't think I'd recommend this apartment for anything more than a one or two night stay at maximum. There are much nicer places that you could stay in Brussels for not too terribly more expensive. 10€ a night is a great deal, but you are going to get what you pay for in terms of the flat. If you do not mind that, Oreste is a great host and I recommend him. Just be aware of what you are signing up for and be sure that it is what you want.
