I was really impressed by the loft and the friendliness of the host. For a short stay, I was looking for a nice appartement close to the Brussels Midi (South/Thalys) train station. It is about a 3 minute walk and pretty simple to find. The area is definitely not the best (but this is quite normal for any area that close to a train station in a big city). The apartment complex is secured with two steel doors, hence very safe. The complex is an industrial parking garage converted into modern apartments. It's really quiet, there is an elevator and the apartment itself is very modern.
There is a good shower, a great bed, TV, Wii, WiFi, radio, kitchen with a great build in coffee machine and a comfortable couch. The place is spotless and Sylvain is very helpful and a good host. Price is very very reasonable - I don't think you find any hotel in Brussels for 2x the price.
In the morning, he left me a full breakfast. Would definitely recommend to stay at his place.
