Benoit's apartment is very well located, close to supermarkets and bus/tram stop which can easily take you to the city center. Ixelles neighborhood is full of bars and restaurant with a very active nightlife by locals (many students). It is common to find some even drinking in the streets around the pond. If you are looking for a quiet place, maybe this is not the best choice for you.
During my stay in Benoits, I was sharing the house with his co-host Louis and his girlfriend, which was not clear when we talked before booking.
The room is quite big and with a very nice view of the pond.
I make a remark that the room is constantly dusty and that smoking is also allowed inside the house.
