First of all, I have to say that Mine and her family are amazing people and everybody should have the possibility to get to know them!! They are so polite, friendly and warm!
Mine's place is located in a quiet and nice suburb but well connected to the center so you can easily get there walking around 10/15 min to Uccle-Calevoet Station and then you can take the bus 51 or the train S1 to Gare du Midi (around 10 minutes) and of course from Gare du Midi you can go wherever! I checked in very late in the night and I was worried she was angry or already asleep and I felt bad; especially because she texted me not to ring the door bell but, since I didn’t read the text in time, I rang!! I feel still sorry about it!!! When she opened her main door she wore a beautiful and fun smile and just from the beginning she made me feel absolutely welcome! She explained that there was a couple sleeping in another private room and I couldn’t take a shower because they were very sensitive (it’s pretty understandable if you come so late like I did, so not a big deal!!) I booked the shared single room and basically I slept on a mat on the ground in a big and sunny living room with a nice balcony. During my stay there were 2 girls sleeping in the double size couch in the same room with me but, believe me, since the room was really spacious, it was almost irrelevant their presence ahaha. The bathroom is spacious with 2 washbasins, a big mirror and a bath/shower.
On Saturday night Mine’s family was at home chilling and enjoying outside on the balcony and when I got home they invited me to join them. We chatted and we had fun together. I’ve been traveling alone for a while and when people ask me why I prefer Airbnb instead of a comfortable hotel in center, I think about people like Mine and her family and I have no doubts! People are just so amazing out there…
(We never forget that they host us in their own houses for a very cheap price and they totally open their “nets” and they share it with complete strangers! Thanks for the kindness!)
To sum up, it’s a perfect place if you need a cheap and kind place where to have a shower and to sleep while visiting the city! Totally recommended! It was a great pleasure! I hope to see you again!! Come to Italy again, you are welcome!!
