The apartment looks even better than on the photographs. It is a large, bright, comfortable apartment in a quiet, family orientated Belgium house. The house is in a quiet, safe area close to transport,parks,supermarkets,bars,restaurants, patisseries and chocolate shops - so take your pick! Especially if you wander up to Ave des Saisons/Jaargetidenlaan which leads onto Chausee de Bondael/Boondaalsestwenweg. the apartment is easily reached, from Gare du Midi, using the tram 81/83 to Montgomery and getting off at Levure- so great if you arrive on the Eurostar although finding your way out of Gare du Midi isn't so easy- head to the taxi rank in the undercovered part and get the tram there. The apartment had everything you need and is well designed to maximise the space. It has an area above the bathroom which has a large desk and huge velux window ( to add to the other 10 windows!!) which is great for drawing. The window between the bathroom to the kitchen is quirky, but it has a shower curtain if you want privacy otherwise it is lovely to lie in the bath with a glass of wine and look at the night sky;) as is the raised platform above the stairs. Alex is great - he is always contactable and responds quickly to email. He is very accommodating and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying at his apartment if you get the chance:)
