The apartment was really good, a bit small but cozy :)
Edwige met us at the apartment and explained everything we needed to know about the apartment and the surrounding area. She was also available via cell phone and email in case we needed something.
The apartment is in a not so new building, so expect to hear some noise from the street (not too much) and from the building itself, also the apartment is next to the elevator so you can hear it when it's being used.
There's a lot of natural (and artificial) light coming into the apartment which can have its pros and cons.
There is public transportation one block away from the apartment, or if you like to walk like us, the Grand Place is about 4km away, so it's doable and nice.
There are a few restaurants really close by, but the area by the Ixelles Cemetery has some good ones and it is also walking distance from the apartment (about 1.5km)
It's also close to one really big and great public park, and if you have kids there's the Children Museum in the same street half bock away from the apartment.
