I make regular business trips to Brussels. My priorities are being close to a metro station (for work), good Wi-Fi with a desk to work at, good TV, comfortable, modern, and no hassle.
Patrick's apartment gave me everything I wanted and more (e.g. a huge bed), at a price I was happy to pay. It is better value than hotels. I visited a week before I was due to check in and met Patrick to make sure I would be happy with everything. He's a decent chap and we got on well. There wasn't a toaster and he agreed to buy one, which he did.
