We visited Brussels after spending a day in Brugge and had no idea how starkly different the 2 cities were! To Soufiane's credit, she has done everything possible, in her capacity, to make the apartment inviting and livable. The pros, it is well decorated and spacious. The cons, it is in a very old part of a very big city town (think New York). The bathroom and unfortunately the room next to it do suffer from a very very bad smell, as another reviewer stated. Not sure if it is due to the age of the building and if anything can be done to fix it. In retrospect, I would rather spend more time in Bruges and avoid Brussels altogether.
