The host has excellent communication before and throughout the stay. The apartment is in a prime location within the centre, ideal for any sightseeing. Overall the apartment worked for our long weekend in Brussels.
Although noise is unavoidable and expected from the outside street in a central location (this was fine for us), prospective guests should be aware that noise could be an issue for some with respect to the restaurant toilet being situated below the bedroom with the hand dryer "hum" echoing through until around midnight. Music was also heard so could be a problem if you want an early night. Although they supply ear plugs, I do not think that it works for everyone. The noise from below and from the apartment above was exacerbated due to exposed floorboards not reducing any sound. I would also recommend that guests bring slippers for comfort (avoiding dirt and snags) within the apartment due to the exposed wooden floorboards.
