Like others who have stayed here, I must report that Gilles' flat was perfectly situated for exploring Brussels. It is located just steps from the Grand Place and a plethora of places to eat, buy groceries, etc. Gilles gave us a quick tour of the apartment upon arrival and also provided lots of pro tips and recommendations for exploring the city- super helpful! My only small complaint is there was no air conditioning or working fan in the flat at the time of our stay, so it got pretty hot in the room. Our first night, we left a window cracked open due to the heat and unfortunately without screens on the windows, I woke up with five mosquito bites (they are totally attracted to me!). Gilles did mention at the time of check in that if the broken fan issue was a problem, he would totally find a replacement, but I didn't want to be a bother. I still thought the apartment was perfect for the trip and would not ever downgrade it.
