Damien was very gracious to allow us an early check in, as we arrived early in the morning from our long flight. He was also at the apartment to greet and show us around. The apartment is at the north-west end of the so-called 'hexagon' that makes up Brussels Centre. A first floor unit in a six-storey building with elevator, it is conveniently located within walking distance to the Metro (3 min walk) and Brussels-Noord train station (a 15-20 min walk). Supermarkets (Carrefour Express and Delhaize), a shopping centre (City 2 mall - with a large Carrefour Market downstairs) are within walking distance as well. From the mall, you can walk south along a pedestrian street lined with shops into the centre of Brussels.

Inside, you have literally everything you need to make the apartment your home. From towels to shower creams and shampoo; pots, pans and crockery; laundry detergent and fabric softener for the washing machine; to even fragrance spray in the toilet, Damien has put a lot of thought into making this apartment a very comfortable place to stay.

The master bedroom has a double bed (queen) with a huge wardrobe. The second has a clever single bed that can be pulled out and converted into a double bed. Two single mattresses are provided for this purpose.

We spent a good 2 weeks in the apartment and would definitely consider staying again if we go to Brussels in the future. Damien was a great host and I would recommend his home anytime.

p/s: The pizza shop around the corner is worth a try. They deliver, too!
