I really enjoyed Emmanuel's apartment. The location was really nice, close to a metro stop (Merode) and the 81, a tram/bus that goes through Ixelles and stops at Gare du Midi. The apartment was perfect for my friend and I, who spent most of the time exploring Brussels.

In addition, Emmanuel was really accommodating: my plans for my time in Brussels changed at least three times and he always responded quickly and was helpful. Emmanuel was in France when I arrived, and his friend Julie was there to let me in. She was also really patient and helpful. I would recommend Emmanuel's apartment to anyone staying in Brussels, especially if they don't want to live in a touristy area.

There was also a list of restaurants and bars to go to in the area in the apartment. My friend and I only tried the fries that he suggested, but they were amazing!
