There is a reason why Elise is a super host! From the very beginning she was gracious and informative. It was our first trip to Brussels and we could not have landed at a better spot! We were exhausted after a long flight and Elsie kindly arranged for a friend to welcome us earlier than the check in time. Super helpful. The house itself is stunning! Very tall ceilings, gigantic windows, modern yet true to its turn-of-the- century beauty. The bed was the most comfortable bed we’ve slept in in Europe, bar none! Having a train station right across the street was a God send, especially after a long day of sightseeing. We actually walked to the Grand Place and took us about 40 mins. The walk gets really pleasant after Saint Gilles. Loved that a grocery store was right around the corner as well as cute neighborhood restaurants and a hopping local watering hole across the street. It was quiet at night for a dreamy sleep. Elise thoughtfully added a mattress in the living room for our son, so everyone got a good night’s sleep. Elsie also gave us a wonderful tip to listen to live music celebrating the beginning of summer. We had a wonderful evening with locals listening to jazz and big band in Saint Gilles. A perfect welcome to this lovely city. The main train station is four stops away, so easy to get to other parts of Belgium. Elsie was incredibly gracious when it counted, cool, reliable and generous. The view from the dining room into the backyard is stunning and gave us hours of joy playing cards and looking out into a sea of green.
Thank you, Elise and family! Brava.
