This is a fabulous home that we enjoyed very much. We were there with our family of 5, plus my mother-in-law, and another couple with one child - so 9 total.
Here's a quick run down:
- communication with owner is fantastic.
- home is as beautiful as pictures if not more.
- keyless entry is helpful and very safe.
- location is within 10 min walk of Grande Place.
- Many restaurants nearby.
- 2 mini-market grocery stores w/i 5 mins of house.
- main floor has two sitting areas: one around the TV and one away from nice set up for kids and adults.
- dining table can sit about 12.
- outdoor patio is pretty with table for 4
- main kitchen is well stocked except no microwave (not a huge deal for us)
- house has some kids' toys, which was really nice.
- Inge has a large travel cot or pack n play and sheets and pillow for it, which was so appreciated.
- house does not have a dryer, which for a short stay was no big deal. But for a longer stay would be nice, especially if you have kids. There's a laundromat close by, but who wants to deal with that?
- house has no AC, which is common. Weather was cool in August when we were there but upper level bedrooms were warm. Windows can be opened, which cools things down quickly.
- only note of caution - weekend street noise can be late bc it's close to restaurants and bars. It's not bad at all with windows closed. But if it's warm inside and you need to open the windows, just know that a set of ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones will help for rooms on the street side of the house.
- OVERALL - would highly recommend this house for your visit to Brussels
