I stayed with a friend at Philippe and Esmara’s place for two nights and it was just perfect. Philippe met me for check in as soon as I arrived in the city and gave me clear directions of how to get there from the main train station. The location of the apartment could not be better. It is super central, three minutes walk from a metro stop and within easy walking distance of lots of tourist sights, shops, restaurants and bars. The apartment was quite small but well-equipped and very clean, with excellent wifi, comfy beds and a good shower. On the day we checked out, Philippe let us store our bags at his place until we left in the late afternoon and he was really accommodating of our timings and travel plans. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to experience the bustle and fun of Brussels! Thanks again!
