We had a lovely stay in Inès' apartment. The bedroom is set far back from an already quiet street, down a flight of stairs, so it was very quiet and we slept very soundly. The apartment is beautifully decorated, with lots of lovely details in fine taste, and best of all there is a Nespresso machine! We had many comfortable and caffeinated mornings enjoying the view of our quiet street. Inès kindly provided a number of helpful guidebooks (Eyewitness, 500 Hidden Secrets of Brussels) and maps that we used to plan our days. Our daughter (17 months old) loved practicing going up and down the bathroom steps (with help), but we especially appreciated the door that separates the bathroom and bedrooms (and their steps) from the kitchen and living room, so that she could not go into that area without supervision. There was plenty of room for her travel crib in the bedroom (and Inès also offered one if we needed, but we were already lugging ours to another destination anyway). There was no highchair, but our daughter enjoying perching on the top of a stepstool for her breakfast (with supervision!). The laundry machines (separate washer and dryer) in the basement were a huge help too! The neighborhood was nice and quiet but only 2 blocks from great restaurants and the Metro. We especially loved a hip Ethiopian place nearby called Toukoul - packed every night, with amazing food. The apartment is the perfect distance from everything - a 10-15min walk max to the Bruxelles-Centrale or Bruxelles-Nord stations and the Grand-Place, and the great restaurants and bars dotting the Quai aux Briques/Quai aux Bois à Brûler. We had a fabulous trip, and only wish we could have stayed longer.
