An amazing experience !!!
We stayed at Jean's apartment for a week and it was a memorable stay. The panoramic view of Brussels city from the balconies were just spectacular......the views were so addictive, with the color of the cityscape changing as the day wore on.
The apartment by itself was artsy and super good interiors gives it a touch of class.
The spacious apartment made our stay comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with all needed practical utilities.
Transportation is a breeze. There's a metro station named YSER/IJZER within 2 minutes walking distance. Metro numbers 2 & 6 takes you from YSER/IJZER to city centre. The metro system in Brussels is absolutely easy and uncomplicated.
For all essentials, there's a little supermarket at the corner of the building at the ground level......and for "more than essentials" there are bigger supermarkets within 5 to 10minutes walk. Cafe's too are within walking distance and for those who don't like to walk , take the metro to next station ROGIER and in a second you are in the middle of so many cafes, two big shopping malls located in a huge shopping street.
Last but not least, the host Jean.
We met Jean on our penultimate day. He is a gentleman and super friendly......it was such a great company that we wished Jean could stay longer with us talking all about Belgium and how he decorated the apartment the way it is.
To sum up, we felt like we visited a friend in a foreign city.
Highly recommended.
