I recently arrived in Brussels for a new job and stayed 1 month in Manon’s flat while flat-hunting.
Manon is a great host: she’s really nice, and was super quick to respond and handle a situation caused by previous guests.
Guests who stay for more than a few days and who like cooking like I do may feel like the kitchen could be better equipped, but most of the essentials are there, so it’s just a matter of personal preferences.
There is no building opposite, so the flat offers great intimacy. Plus the biggest terrace is a great viewpoint for sunsets.
The nearby parks Forest and Duden are enjoyable for a run (beware, it’s hilly!), a stroll or a picnic.
The direct surroundings may not be the trendiest, but lovely restaurants and bars are easily accessible by walk (around 15 minutes walk to Parvis St Gilles).
