Maria is great, she is very helpful, I love her breakfast, she is so nice...Her place is absolutely perfect for visiting Brussels. The house is a museum where you want to life, it is comfortable, nice and clean...It is a quiet place, which is very near to nature as well as to night life. You are close to the inner city, you have good connections via public transport, you have many, many shops along the Ixelles, you have fine restaurants very close...so there is nothing you will miss...
