The location is simply fantastic, maybe two minutes to the Grand Place. That alone was amazing. The building is old, charming, and on a pretty street. You check in at a Hotel very nearby.
On the positives, location, location, location! Great. The elevator is truly tiny European, but it worked fine. The apartment is a good size and we used all three bedrooms. There were four of us and that didn’t feel crowded. One bathroom on the first floor is huge. Both bathrooms work well. The living room is a good size and a nice place to hang out. I liked being on the top floor.
Our only challenge was the internet and tv was down when we arrived, but it was fixed the following morning (bad power strip). The interior could use a freshening. The apartment is functional, but a little dated and worn. There is no washer and dryer, but I didn’t need one. The beds and bedding were fine but not awesome. If you are in the front upper bedroom, the sun will hit you full on in the morning as there are no window coverings in that room. There was a bit of dust on the tv stand and in the living room wine rack. When I booked I didn’t realize check in is 5pm but check out is 11am. Six hours is a huge amount of time to clean an apartment. Check in should really be four.
This definitely is a nice place in an extraordinary location. It is not the most stunning Airbnb, but the size and location are significant pluses.
