Staying at Carine's place was very comfortable and relaxing. It was very easy to communicate with her as she really is experienced host (and simple and caring person). Everything was clean and the atmosphere was positive, so it felt like being home. The apartment is 25 minutes away from the city center (and Central station) so if you like to walk - go for it. The bed is nice so don't worry about not being able to sleep well :) It is close to many grocery stores as well as to some beautiful parks! Carine will provide you with some tips for tourists and for tourists who wish to blend in; not just for Brussels, but for the whole Belgium. Tip: go for a morning walk because the city looks amazing when it's sunny and not crowded.
