Excellent location: 10 minutes from Botanique metro or Gare de Nord. The flat is well insulated with windows blocking out the street noise. If you want to walk to the centre of Brussels--e.g. Grand Place or Sablon, it's about a 20-30 minute walk. There is a Carrefour Express 10 minutes away if you need to buy essentials or a few groceries for breakfast. Beware that the apartment is on the second floor so don't bring a heavy suitcase!
