I stayed in Valerie's flat for 2 weeks while I was in Brussels for work and it was perfect. I had stayed in the center before and this was much more calm but with all the amenities needed such as restaurants, grocery stores, cafes, etc. It is also close to transport and walkable to many areas, including the center. And, it didn't hurt to be greeted upon my arrival by waffles and a bottle of wine :) I would definitely recommend!
