My husband, 2 1/2 year old son, and I stayed at Ekaterina's place this past weekend in January 2020, and we will definitely be back. Her apartment was the perfect home base to explore this charming and cool city of Brussels.
To start, we drove by car from Germany, and her directions on where to park and illustrations on how to find her place were spot on. The gate was closed when we arrived, but her sister answered right away and came down to let us in. The LOCATION! It was everything. Practically across the street from The Grand Place and next door to the famous covered shopping area. Tons of restaurants, bars, the train station, sites...literally everything is close by.
Her apartment is the cutest, cleanest, coziest, and yes, coolest place :) There is a bedroom, entryway and bathroom downstairs. Up a winding staircase you will find the kitchen/dining/large sofa area that turns into a bed. You will also find a beautiful view and a terrace with small table/chairs. This area would be romantic if it were warmer outside :)
For our toddler, she had a clean and comfy pack n play, as well as a high chair. My son also enjoyed Winnie the Pooh DVD. She had many to choose from (for adults and kids). It was also nice that she left coffee, tea, toasts and spreads, etc.
Everything was sparkling clean and she left nice amenities in the bathroom as well.
We want to come back to Brussels when it's warmer, and her place will be our #1 choice if she isn't booked. Host is fast at getting back to messages as well. Highly Highly recommend!
