I never managed to meet the host however a couple of salient points if you are thinking of staying. I never actually met David but I can only assume he was having a bad couple of days.

1) The house is not like the photo's. It is extremely cluttered with trinkets and antiques you would think that you were in a shop. I suspect its some kind of storage apartment. Charming in some ways however.
2) I had two people over for a couple of bottles of wine before going out and the owner lost his mind demanding an extra 75 euros after I left for cleaning up a couple of glasses saying I had a 'party'. I most certainly did not.
3) The neighbourhood is NOT safe. I was offered drugs within 50 meters outside the house (if you take a right) on many occasions. I would not recommend if you are a girl travelling by herself.
4) The double bed is two single mattresses pushed together.

Basically the experience was like someone doing you a favour by allowing you to stay in their apartment, even although you are paying them. Im sure there are less stressful places to stay in Belgium.
