Mineta art house is a wonderful, quiet, luxurious and green place in Brussels. For everyone into art, this place is heaven. Marie decorated the rooms beautifully with her art collection and design furniture, she has maps ready with the locations of all the art musea in Brussels and is a rich source of information on art herself. But also for people who are in Brussels for a conference or meeting (like myself), Mineta is the perfect place. I could walk to Université libre de Bruxelles (+/- 20min), and walk to the city centre (+/- 25min). There are two beautiful ponds close to the house and while the house itself is in a quiet street, there are many cafe's and restaurants in 5 minutes walking distance. It is a safe area and I felt comfortable walking there by myself until midnight. The rooms are very spacious and clean and Marie is an excellent host who will make you feel at home. She prepares a delicious breakfast with fresh products, helps you with directions and thinks about many small things like how to make use of her house in the morning so that she makes as little noice as possible for her guest. She could charge much more for this place, but chooses to give rather than to take. I would recommend that you bring a small gift for Marie, because I felt weird about not having prepared anything to give her in return for everything she did. You can stop looking for places to stay in Brussels, this is the best option in town and you are lucky when it is available.
