This is a beautiful, opulent apartment that Yolanda and Simon have renovated to the very highest standard. It looks out onto the quiet Elisabeth park at the front within sight of the majestic Basilica, and a beautiful little courtyard at the rear. All the furniture is top-end designer wear. There's a super well equipped kitchen, a huge 180cm wide bed that provided some of the best sleeps we've ever had, a proper blast- your-head-off power shower, comforting underfloor heating and electrical shutters that allowed privacy and a dark bedroom if you need a lie-in.

Both Yolanda and Simon were very welcoming and friendly, and provided lots of useful tips about living in Brussels.

The appartment is close to the Elisabeth metro station, but we mainly commuted by bike (there is cycle infrastructure but it's a bit confused) and it took about 10 mins to get to the Grand Place.

We stayed over a month and were very happy.
