Sam's apartment is really great. Very quiet, bright and clean 2 bedroom flat, with 1 double bed and 2 single beds. A well equiped kitchen, fast internet, small terrace, and a garage to park your car, which is a real bonus in the city (careful when driving out with a big car as the ramp is very tight). Molenbeek is still very much an immigrant area, but the neighbourhood is changing quickly because of Tour and Taxis and the KBC HQ. We thought is was very interesting to explore that side of Brussels. Being right next to the canal, it is possible to do very nice long bike rides along the water, either north to Willebroek (come back via Zenne river chemin de halage) or south to Clabecq. We'll definitely be back if it is free next time we are in Brussels. chrs
