This is the third time I stayed in Luca's place and his mother Adriana (who runs it) is always attentive and charming. The area is, well, "honest" and non-touristic, with many late-night convenience stores and not-so-glitzy restaurants around. Situated up on a hill the place is well served by public transport and within easy walking to Brussel-Noord train station. Inside, there is all you would expect, it is clean and eqipment is in good shape.
