Although I didn't get a chance to meet Nicolas personally, he was very responsive and helpful through out the entire trip. The room was exactly as pictured, very clean, well decorated, and it even stayed cool in 90+ degree weather as it's a basement room. For those of you that don't know there's a woman named Lucrezia that lives in a room upstairs.
Lucrezia was an absolute godsend. She let me borrow her personal chargers when I first arrived as I had forgotten mine and was too jet-lagged to go out and find one. Then she gave me a small tour of the neighborhood, explained how the train system works, helped show me how to get from city to city, gave me her personal recommendations on what to see while I was in Brussels, and even went as far as to buy some fresh fruit for me so I would have something healthy to eat for breakfast.
