What an amazing weekend and what an amazing host!
Jan greeted us when we arrived and spent at least 20 minutes explaining the city to us and giving us hand drawn maps and restaurant suggestions.
Very well located, a short 5 minute walk to the local deli and also a couple of cafe/restaurants, a couple minutes on from that is the main high street with well known stores. We enjoy a good walk so we only took a taxi to and from the Eurostar. The chocolate square (I can't remember what it's called! Ha) is about 15-20 minutes away and the grand place is just under half an hours walk away. It's a beautiful walk because of the amazing architecture around brussels, walking straight past the palace.
We ate in in front of the TV for 2 of the nights but if you do feel like heading out I highly recommend Chez Leon, a fish restaurant which when first entered doesn't look like much but the mussels and scallops were top class! Easy on the wallet to!
Back to Jan and the apartment... It was exactly as pictured and very central.
We had the best weekend and Jan was a great host! Highly recommend staying here.
