So I would like to preface this by saying we were late to check in as the result of a train cancellation
As the result of our train cancellation my fiancé and I were an hour later than the time I had originally communicated. During our commute I was reasonably contact with the host and let her know updates as they came.
The issue arose when the host called us and immediately began berating and yelling at my fiancé. As an Airbnb host myself I see no scenario where that is even remotely okay. While I understand that we were late to due to circumstances that were out of our control. I was in decent communication throughout.
Fortunately the host had a male friend who left the key at a neighboring restaurant for pickup and we were able to get in (her friend was normal and kind)
As for the room itself, it’s clean and in a great location. It is a shared occupancy so you may have fellow guests but we did not (the host reached out and let us know we were lucky and it’s usually double). Reading previous reviews I would refrain from using any of the product in the bathrooms and just bring your own as to not upset the host.
I typically refrain from writing reviews if they are negative but the host had one last thing to say after we left.
After we left she out right accused us of drinking a half bottle of her vodka. Brussels is an amazing and fun city but we were there for work so we consumed zero hard alcohol or any of the stuff in the apartment for that matter. I feel like it would have been best to let it go or confirm prior to accusing….she also stood to gain nothing from doing so.
Ultimately the place is in a great location, the street noise is a bit much but a heavy sleeper can deal with it. If you’re on a budget and don’t mind the rudeness or potential negative review stay here. If not there’s some great hotels right around the corner
