The location is extraordinary: close to the train, Grand Place, the sites and the nightlife. The street below it is lined with outdoor restaurants & bars that stay open pretty late and groups of people heading back & forth can sometimes be rowdy, but it didn't bother us- we liked people watching from our window (but an infant or young children might not). There is a nice cross breeze and the apartment is nicely appointed. We loved calling it "home" for a week
