Martine's place was excellent and a wonderful arrival for my first trip to Europe. The place looks exactly like the pictures and she was more than helpful with information about Brussels. I arrived late (around 10 or 11pm) and she wasn't there to let me in, but her wonderful neighbor, Michele, was there to let me, help me get settled and give me some pointers. I was heading out the following day, but Martine was kind enough to let me leave my bags while I explored the city and pick them up before leaving. If I were going back her place will be one of the first ones that I check for availability.
