This apartment was fine for our stay in Brussels. It had the feel of a hotel, which I prefer. All the reviews I read prior to booking mentioned the street noise, and they were accurate. It was very loud, but it didn’t bother me during nighttime. If you have trouble sleeping in noisy environments, this is not the place for you. Most of the areas we wanted to see within Brussels were about 1 - 1 1/2 miles away. Walkable, but not real convenient. We didn’t take the time to familiarize ourselves with the trams, but I’m sure that would have made local travel easier.
