I stayed at this apartment for five days. It is very close to the EU's buildings and it is close to the metro. Many good restaurants, pubs and stores are within a few minutes' walk. But there were some problems. When I arrived at the Brussels airport, the owner called me and said that the hot water heater is broken. He gave me two choices; (1) full refund or (2) I could use a hall shower one floor below my apartment. I chose option 3, no hot water. The plates, cutlery and glasses look like they were picked up at a yard sale. The floor is covered with linoleum a previous guest let the water run out of the shower and cover the bathroom with water. The apartment has potential but there is little to no investment in making it more than just a place for students. The apartment is on the second floor and the stairway is narrow and steep. Along the way up the stairs, you see the bric a brac, sporting equipment, shoes, irons, books, etc., that is kept in the stair way because nobody wants to keep it in their apartment. It is an obstacle course to get up stairs with one piece of luggage. A mistake was made at the beginning by giving me the wrong key to the apartment. When I discovered the mistake, the owner came back and gave me the right key. All in all, if you value saving money more than comfort, this is your place.
