Simon's place gives you a great and authentic feeling for Brussels. Les Marolles is great, public transports, markets and the like are close by. The area is cozy with small houses, wine bars and restaurants, galleries, narrow streets and squares, a view of the Palais de Justice etc. The apartment is nicely laid out, has everything you need and is very light. Due to the fact that it is under the roof, it can get warm on a very sunny day and sometimes a bit noisy (people in the street, neighbors if they like loud music which mine did).
