i couldnt recommend simons place more! it is even more special in person with the plants and decor. very homey and cozy - you will feel immediately at home! being close to midi station is really convenient. the surrounding neighborhood wasnt my favorite for things to do but a quick e-bike/scooter ride or metro ride towards st catherine/danseart/the center or st. gilles and youll have lots of great options for cool spots.
