Our stay at Roel & Nicolas' place was a amazing. The communication with Roel & Nicolas leading up to, as well as during our stay was great. They generally give fast replies and are really helpful, also with providing tips for sightseeing, eating and drinking.
The studio has a very modern, private and cozy feel. It's also super clean. The size is just right for 2 people to enjoy and be comfortable together. The view from the balcony is great. The kitchen is equipped with pots, pans, utensils and some basic ingredients so you can cook your own meals if you like. The bed sleeps like a cloud and the pillows are a dream. However, because the building is older, when it's very quiet at night, the elevator can very clearly be heard going up and down on the other side of the wall, and you can also hear noise coming up from the street. This is nothing a little soft music can't fix though. There's even a speaker available.
We would have liked to know more about the neighbourhood before we made the reservation. We certainly would not label the neighbourhood as dangerous by any means, but it is definitely rough around the edges and can make some feel a little uneasy, especially at night. Nevertheless, it is a good location; the metro station and busstop are less than 5 minutes walk from the building and you can walk to Grand Place in about 20 minutes.
We would definitely recommend staying with Nicolas and Roel. It was the first time since the Covid lockdowns that we could travel somewhere outside our own country and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. We wish we could have stayed longer.
Roel & Nicolas,
Merci beaucoup for accommodating us!!
