I lived in Francesco's flat for about three months while I worked for the EU Commission. The flat is very good overall. The contact with Francesco was always friendly and helpful.
The best way to get from the flat to the EU district is by bus - you can also walk back very well (then it's downhill). Near the flat you can find all the shops and laundry services you need (I recommend "Washington"). The only thing you won't find in the area is nature. But you live right in the city centre and can quickly get to Brussels' most important sights.
Because of Corona, I spent a lot of time in the flat (home office) and was glad that I had chosen a real flat where I could also work. The kitchen and separate bedroom were particularly practical. The only negative point is that the furnishings are not really new anymore - but that didn't bother me. Overall, I can only recommend the flat - even for longer stays. By the way, you can also receive mail very well.
