I'm pleased with my four weeks visit in Brussels. Benedicte and her sons were friendly and the room on the top floor of the house was just like in pictures - nice.
Their more than one hundred years old home is located on a quiet residential street in a beautiful neighbourhood. The European Commission's main building Berlaymont is near by and the Parliament about two kilometres away.
Brussels is a compact city and easy to get around. I mostly walk but the plastic MOBIB card is handy for occasional public transport journeys (www.mivb.be > buy).
