Haile arranged for a colleague to let us into the apartment after midnight on the day of our arrival. When we got in, we could not believe how roomy the place is, bigger than we expected. Everything about the place worked great: We cooked frequently in the kitchen, which had all the essentials; we did laundry; we slept really well partly due to the excellent cross-ventilation in the apartment. The apartment is in the middle of things in old Brussels (one block from Mannekin Pis, if you are into that sort of thing). This will be our home when traveling to Brussels in the future.
