This place exceeded my expectations. The location and views from the room were outstanding.
While the climb up the stairs was a workout, especially when laden with luggage, it was well worth it.
Also, the bedroom is pretty charming. The vaulted ceiling with beams showed off the building’s old character. On the couple evenings it rained, you could hear it on the skylights and on the roof, very pleasant and calming.
And just walking about the door to the street lead to many adventures. From visiting the stunning Grand Place right around the corner, to making a trek on the subway to parts farther away, the location meant easy access to lots of options.
The only thing that didn’t go perfectly here was that the washer was broken (John was aware and a repairman was summoned). As our stay in Brussels was the halfway point in our trip, we planned so do laundry. In the end it turned out ok since there is a laundromat a few blocks away, so that was taken care of easily anyway.
All in all we were quite charmed with the room and the whole experience.
