One of the positive things about this Airbnb is that Alin is flexible with check-in/ check-out times, so we were able to leave our luggage in the apartment after we checked out for a few hours.
We took the keys with no problems, Alin send us beforehand detailed instructions on how to get them.
We found the room to be as shown in the pictures, big, beautiful and CLEAN! You can see Alin put a lot of effort on making the room both cosy and elegant.
The room is next to the kitchen, so we were a bit scared noise-wise when we arrived, as you cannot tell the location of the room by looking at the pictures. There was nothing to worry about. We were never bothered by noises in the house, as to access the room there are two doors.
The location is good, really close to Gare du Midi and about a 20 min walk to the city center which is not much. The neighborhood seemed calm and safe during day time and nigh time.
The shared bathroom was always clean, and the sharing part was not a problem. We didn't even meet other Airbnb guests during our two nights stay.
We did not have the opportunity to talk to Alin or to use the kitchen, as we were out most of the day.
All in all, I would definitely stay again at Alin's if I go back to Brussels.
Oh, last but not least: the bed is INSANELY comfortable!!!!!! :)
