The apartment is in a fabulous location and its a great space to stay in for several days. Spacious and well equipped and spotlessly clean. Unfortunately there was a recurring issue with the 'plumbing' but the host was quick to communicate and did what they could to fix the issue ...I've stayed with this host previously and until this stay everything has been perfect. So just one of those things and host did all they could to rectify the issue. Also we had been advised that the apartment had a balcony...it hasn't but the view of the Cathedral more than compensates. Overall highly recommended apartment and the noise that others referred to is a reflection of the location and being at the heart of Brussels.....easily fixed with a pair of ear plugs.
