This was our third visit to Brussels and we had a lovely time during our 3-night stay at Sandra's place. We wanted to explore different parts of the city so decided to stay in Ixelles as we'd never been there before.
Sandra's place is in a great location, about 10 minutes from Porte de Namur Metro station, which in turn is a short Metro ride to Bruxelles-Midi train station. We were in Brussels for a concert in Ancienne Belgique, which is near Grand Place and about a 30 minute walk from Sandra's apartment with some great views across the city on the way. We usually use the Metro system but the weather was good so we did a lot of walking. It's also about a 30 minute walk to Bois de la Cambre, where we hired Villo bikes and cycled into Bois des Soignes. There is a high street nearby the apartment and plenty of little supermarkets within walking distance.
Sandra's husband Laurent met us when we arrived. He is very helpful, and gave us lots of advice. There is also an information pack and lots of brochures in the flat.
The flat is comfortable with everything you need. Great shower! We didn't use the TV but the wifi was good and we had no problems. We also liked the little courtyard at the back - great place to sit and have a beer.
Merci Sandra et Laurent pour nous acceuillir, Lowri & Dave
