Adam's place is warm and cozy. Everything was as described. The apartment is a 15 min. walk to Midi Station and only about a 20-25 minute walk to city center (Brussels is small). The area directly surrounding the apartment is safe and lively, I would just advise you to not wander too far in the opposite direction of the city as the people can get a bit sketchy. Overall, the area is more than fine, just keep your wits about you and be street smart (Don't stare).
