We spent 3 nights in Valerio's apartment in Brussels. We never got to meet Valerio, but communication with him was good and Claire was there to meet us and show us around the apartment. The apartment is stunning and so well located. If you're prepared to walk for 15-20 minutes, you can see the main sights of Brussels, or you can take the tram, which stops right out the front of the apartment. The apartment is huge, clean and well maintained. The area itself is alive with bars, cafes and restaurants, and there is a market about 5 minutes walk. A really great place to stay in Brussels.
