This place is close to almost everyqhere you want to walk to in central Brussels. The property is clean, well maintained and easy to get to. Both the Brussels North and Central stations are 15 mins walk away which is a huge advantage for getting to and from the airports. The nearest metro station (Botanique) is less than 5 mins away. A bus route goes right down the lane this house is on (no idea why this narrow lane is on a main bus route but it is). The entire experience is so well oiled that you might not meet the hosts or the staff at all and yet have all your needs met. The common toilet is not a big deal given that it's cleaned regularly and is actually more like a toilet + shower + dressing room. It's just shared by 2 rooms so at max 4 people. Overall just go for it if you are looking for a hassle free stay not too far from Brussels center.
