The apartment was spacious and clean, and steps from great beer bars and restaurants. We arrived before check-in and had some beers and food at Moeder Lambic across the street, and then we were allowed to drop our bags off early and go exploring further. We were happy to be so close to all the action, but if you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs. Otherwise, John was very responsive and this apartment enhanced our trip to this beautiful city.
