Maria is an amazing Armenian woman with a great apartment and even better host skills. She was very communicative and sociable, always easily reachable (via message, plus the fact that she lives next door), and was willing to help me through every single part of my stay at her place.
The apartment was properly cleaned up for my arrival, and is precisely as advertised (I would say even more spacious then I expected). Fully equiped kitchen, bathroom with a washing machine, separated (but still private) toilet, comfortable bed and couch, big TV, dining table.
The location is also great: less than a 10 minute walk from Gare du Midi, and exactly beside the Porte de Hal, a beautiful building with a pleasant little green area around it - and a subway station.
Icing on the cake was the fact that Maria was insanely nice to me. When I arrived a little late at the apartment because of luggage issues at the airport, she got worried - and when she learned that it was due to my luggage being lost, she felt my pain and helped me through the whole process of getting them back to me.
It really was a perfect way to begin my journey in Belgium! Thank you so much, Maria!
