The apartment is very conveniently located to shopping, restaurants and bars, and several markets are right in the neighborhood. The space was perfect for my wife and me and our six month old, and Cath even provided a playpen for our use while we were there. As other reviewers have mentioned there is a bit of street noise at night- but you're in the middle of the city so it's to be expected. We really enjoyed the convenience of the tram station being so close and the train station a 15-20 minute walk away. Overall, great value for Brussels. We'd sure stay again.
