We did not get any responses from Ced regarding checkin. When we arrived, he was outside waiting to let us in. The location is unbeatable and the room is minimalist and really all that you need. Do not expect the view listed in the posting, our window faced into an ally. Because of this, our room was filled with mosquitos. Me and my partner had around 25 bites between the two of us despite our efforts to keep them out. If you want to spend a couple days i’m Brussels, this place is very affordable and worth the money.
