We had a great stay at John and Ceca's apartment. It had a convenient, centralized location that made it easy to walk to restaurants and local sights. With the great location, you also get a few downsides, being the noise of the city and the food smells from the restaurant downstairs (primarily fish smell). The smell comes from the hallway/staircase inside the building and also wafts up from the outside, which made it impossible to escape at times. Grand Place was a giant construction site during our visit, which added extra noise, but I'm sure it will be beautiful and very much worth it when it's done. A fan was included in the apartment, which drowned out a lot of the noise.
The kitchenette had all the essentials, including an electric kettle which we used daily to make coffee in the room. There's a great list of local recommendations, including restaurants, cafes, and bars. We tried a few of them and were not disappointed!
The pull-out bed was not ideal, as it was very small and had a significant slope and a very defined crack/crease in the middle. We never folded it up into the couch, and just left it set up as the bed the whole time. There's a small dining table with comfortable chairs, so the additional seating option of the couch seems unnecessary if the alternative is a real bed.
The self check-in process made it easy to get in on our schedule, so we didn't have to meet the hosts at a specific time.
Overall, the apartment was a great value, had a very convenient location, and practical amenities and we would certainly recommend it.
Thanks John and Ceca!
