The apartment is a 10-15 minute walk from Brussels Midi3ststion that is your access to the rest of Belgium.
If you have to take a cab, it's 7-8€ From the station.
There is a metro line closeby but be sure to have a stib card for top up that you can buy from Midi Station.
There are a couple of restaurants in the neighbourhood and plenty shops where you can pick fresh fruit and a few things like water and juice.
Mariano was amazing with giving us extra information on what to do and where to go while in Brussels at that time of the summer.
There's an elevator which was a plus for us because we had big heavy bags
He and Hassam were very responsive and helpful...
We found snacks, coffees and teas.
The place was worth ever single penny
