The weeks I spent at the place of Jacques & Françoise was a true pleasure. I would recommend it to everyone really. But even more so for those who are in for a visit to Brussels that concentrates on the less touristy place, eat and drink where the locals do. You will be in one of the best parts of Ixelles that it is safe, calm, yet literally minutes away from bars and restaurants. At the same time, you can easily reach the centre, if you want. I would say it is the best of both worlds. Also, you will have hosts that I find ideal: not intrusive, but available, kind, but not artificial. Probably the experience why you came here and not a hotel or to a large turnover professional place. Finally, you will be placed in a house that is a typical type in Belgium and also a very fine one of those. Wholeheartedly recommended!
