We stayed here for 4 nights. It has some strong positives: the location is fantastic- an easy walk to and from Brussels Central station, the Grande Place, and many fun restaurants and bars. It’s a very generous size, with a large bathroom and bedroom, full size kitchen, and comfortable living room with decent TV. The washing machine worked well. We were met promptly upon arrival by Haile’s friend Keba and were shown all the necessary points in the flat.
The one significant negative is the water in the shower, which does not stay at a consistent temperature; it varies constantly between scorching hot and cold and is impossible to control. It’s been mentioned in other recent reviews and appears to be an ongoing issue. Realistically, it needs to be fixed as people want to be able to take a shower.
If you stay here and enjoy beer, we strongly recommend two very close establishments. The first is Nuetnigenough, a restaurant serving wonderful Belgian cuisine and a great selection of beers. It’s right around two corners on Rue de Lombard. The other is Poechenellekelder, just 15 meters away, across from the Manneken Pis. It’s a quirky spot with marionettes as decor and a huge selection of beers ( but very little food). We enjoyed evenings there on three separate evenings, it was so much fun.
