Pros:
- extremely clean and neat ( all spaces : room, bathroom, kitchen)
- spacious and warm room even for winter
- quiet and safe locality
- Close to metro and even closer to tram stop.
- very reasonable price for both location and standard
- people mind their own business. I met nobody while I was there ( not even the hosts - see cons for details). For me that was great as I like peace but some might find it awkward.
Cons:
- Hosts were not very responsive to my inquiries so I was very concerned that they might cancel last minute. They also did not answer my questions ( whether they will provide towels and a duvet or not, whether they are far from the EU parliament, if they could send photos of the bathroom) . All was OK in the end but they did not reply to reassure me.
- Unlike what is mentioned, they do not seem to live in the building.. There are other tenants though. I think this might be problematic if an issue occurs. For me, when I arrived the door handle broke so I couldn't get into my room... I asked for help on the ground floor thinking that Leo lives there but in fact it was another family. Fortunately they were very helpful and helped me fix the door. I just think people should be aware that they are kind of left to fend for themselves in case of emergencies.
Pleasant détails I wished I knew :
- it's a relatively 30 minute walk from the atomium
- there's a carrefour market 5 mins away ( Google map will help) for reasonably priced daily supplies.
- the tram is comparable to the metro in time - wise in most cases given the stop just 2 mins away from the building ( using Google to compare helps)
