I stayed in Alexandra's place for a month recently in order to work remote for my US based company, and I can't wait to come back! This place turned out to be perfect for what I was looking for. It is in a very nice and quiet area. It has everything you need right down the street: Really good restaurants, two grocery stores that have everything you might need, and a pharmacy, which I really needed on a particular day.
Also, the Watermael train platform is just around the corner. The train stops every hour on the hour if you want to take it to the city center. I used it a few times, but mostly I liked to walk a few blocks more to get on the metro line. The metro train came every 5 minutes so it was very convenient. And the walk to it was through a very pretty neighborhood.
Alexandra's place looks brand new. It is beautiful! The bed was very nice, and the pillows were super comfortable. The shower was fantastic! The shower even had the overhead rain-shower head, and as a guy, I loved it so much! The kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook. I didn't cook because there were so many good places to eat close by, and several times I just bought a ready-made dinner that the market nearby and brought it back to eat when I didn't feel like eating at a restaurant.
Alexandra is the best host ever ! She wants to make your stay as wonderful as it can be, and she was always available to provide anything I needed, or to answer any questions I might have had, whether it was about the area, the apartment, or about Brussels itself.
I loved my time there so much. I am so looking forward to returning. This experience was SO much better than staying in a hotel or the noisy city center. After 30 days, I really felt like I got a taste of normal daily life in Brussles and I loved it.
