The location of the apartment is in a fairly quiet side street only a few blocks from the Grand Place, and a 8 minute walk from Brussels Centrale train station (and from there, an easy train ride the airport or to much of the rest of Belgium).
The furniture, linens, towels, pot & pans, and dishes were all of good quality (though a bread knife would have been useful), and we were provided with a few days of coffee pods.
On our second day, we noticed a very strong smell of cannabis and tobacco and noise coming from the door on the first floor landing that we had assumed was a storage closet. On discussion with the owner, it turns out that door (which is not separated from the rest of the apartment) leads to another apartment occupied by the owners son. When we asked whether the son had access to our "private" apartment, we were told that he "does not" go into the apartment we rented, and they would not say that he did not have access. Additionally, the management company told us that no one has complained about the smoke before, despite a previous review mentioning it.
While we had no doubt that the owners son is trustworthy, based on the noise he clearly had other people over, and we did not feel secure leaving our work computers and passports somewhere that persons unknown to us might access. We asked the management company whether there was another apartment we could move to, and we were presented with several smaller, cheaper, less convenient options. We were led to believe that we would be compensated for the difference, but after we moved, the management company did not respond to our question for over two weeks, and ultimately did not provide us with any kind of refund.
