The host always replied within a very quick time span. In general he was very helpful, when it came to restaurant recommendations or any other questions. When we didn’t have towels at first he immediately tried to solve the problem and reacted to the message. What you should consider is that there seem to be a lot of mosquitos around that area and one should maybe even think about packing a mosquito net.
Gregory’s place is furnished very nice but one can see, that it lacks a couple of practical things like soap or towels to clean dry the dishes or hands. The location however is very nice! I did not take the metro when going there, but Ixelles is a very local neighbourhood and there are tons of pretty restaurants in the area. Everything is a little expensive, but you definitely feel safe and have everything right around the corner.
