About the host:
Dimitri was a good Airbnb host. He was easy to work with and was ready to offer solutions when I had special requests or needs. I rented and stayed in both of his apartments at different times. I would rent from again and I recommend him to any Airbnb guest.

About the area:
The apartment is very close to the Hallepoort/Porte-de-Hall metro, which has direct lines that will take you in many directions around Brussels. You will hear occasional street noise in the apartment, but Brussels is a big city and you can expect this in many places. I had no problem with noise and slept just fine with ear plugs. If you are not a light sleeper, as I am, you should have no problem.

About the apartment:
There is no elevator and it is long flight of steps to this apartment. Don't be alarmed by the appearance of the stairway, the apartment is much nicer. This is an apartment that Dimitri lives in when he doesn't have a guest. It is very cozy. It has everything you will need for a short or long stay. Lots of natural light in this apartment. There is one bedroom with a queen sized bed. The apartment has a washer and dryer, which is nice for longer stays. There is a small living room with a sofa, cable TV, and a computer desk with a nice chair. The roomy kitchen is fully equipped, has a dishwasher, but no microwave. There is also a large kitchen table. The bathroom is large, has two sinks, a clothes washer, and a bathtub with shower nozzle. There is a separate closet with a toilette, small sink, and clothes dryer in it. I was very satisfied with this apartment. I would rent it again.
