Amazing location! This is probably the best location for enjoying Brussels as well as day tripping to the wonderful smaller cities such as Antwerp, Bruges and Ghent. The train station is incredibly convenient with a smaller entrance via a small park located just around the corner from this apartment. Incredibly convenient!
There were some hiccups with the check in. The apartment is on the 3rd floor in the American way of counting floors. The ground being the first floor. The stairs are narrow and steep. Not a problem for my or my wife but could be problematic for others. Also, not a fun way to start or end the vacation with hauling luggage up and then down these stairs. The kitchen is very poorly stocked for any actual usage. There was not soap or sponge for doing dishes. Additionally, there was no toilet paper. These are kind of important details for any guest checking in.
The cable also did not work throughout the stay. This was not a deal breaker...but jut another factor.
One of the worst parts was the smell in the bathroom. There was an unpleasant sewage smell throughout our stay.
However...even with all those negative aspects, most of which were fixed by the host, this is a great find! The location is amazing...and the ability to enjoy the busy street of Brussels from the comfort of your apartment is priceless.
