Staying at Marcelo's was my first airbnb experience. So I was a bit anxious how it might turn out for me. But I liked it very very much! The apartment is situated very centrally. Except for a few attractions, I didn't find it necessary to use public transportation. And there is nothing more exciting than a walk in the beautiful streets of lovely Brussels! Marcelo himself was there to open the door and greet me. He was kind enough to welcome me and my friend with a smile, a loaf of fresh bread and some delicious waffles. The apartment is a small duplex with everything you might need for a short stay, maybe even more than my expectations; besides full cooking necessities, there was an iron and also a safe, clean twoels and sheets and even umbrellas which came in very handy during the rainy days on early October!

There is a grocery store right across the street, a Carrefour store close-by (central station), a Paul branch with delicious pastries and coffees a few steps away, and many restaurants in a few minutes walking distance.

Marcelo himself is a very friendly host. He didn't leave any questions unanswered and assured us that he was available whenever we needed him. When there was a small issue at the apartment, he kindly came to check it out himself.

To summarize, it was a lovely experience and I will go back to him if I find the opportunity to get back to Brussels some time.
