Fantastic location for site seeing! 🤩 5 min or less to the Grand Place. 1 min to restaurants, bars and shops! So it is understandable that it is a bit loud due to the very close proximity to all the fun! Close the windows and it’s fine or sleep with earplugs if you retire early. The apartment is lovely, spacious and comfortable with a very good washer machine that wrung out my clothes nearly dry. One concern is the very beautiful wood spiral staircase from the front door to the main living room and kitchen and then another flight up to the bedroom. Not a problem for strong young ones, but a bit challenging if your lugging your luggage alone. Still a marvelous stay!
