This Airbnb was fantastic. I don’t think the pictures do it justice. It’s beautiful. The main room is large and airy with high ceilings and a long window that opens over a backyard garden. The loft had plenty of space—perfect for sleeping. The bathroom was large with a shower/tub. The kitchen had everything we needed (scissors, glasses, nice table, fridge). Note: the apartment is at the top of 6 flights of stairs so you have to appreciate the exercise.
What stood out to me:
- the beds were incredibly comfortable; we opened the window at night and the breeze was very calming (even though the morning birds were quite loud)
-the neighborhood of Shaerbeek was cozy—the kind of place you’d want to live, with local cafes and restaurants—perfect ambience.
- The hosts were so welcoming; they made lemon water for our arrival and left us a bowl of raspberries one night. They were available for any questions we had, especially helping us find good restaurants (our favorites were Brunch Corner (Mediterranean food for lunch and great cheese and coffee); and Côté Gourmand for breakfast).
-The location was great. I had the impression it might be a bit far out of town but that wasn’t the case at all. we walked a ton and could get to the city easily in about 20-30 mins. There were plenty of sidewalks and paths. We could catch trams and buses 5 mins from the apartment. We traveled easily to La Grand Place and the Atomium.
I would stay here again, even move in if I could :).
