I stayed one month in Ilaria’s place and I must say I felt there very comfortable. Yes, the apartment has a lot of owner’s possesions but there is still a lot of place for you to use. The apartment is warm, kitchen equipment and washing machine are working perfectly. The access is easy, it is very close to the restaurants, cafes, different kinds of stores (just around the corner) and main square in Brussels (10 min walk). Ilaria lives in the same building with her husband so they are there in case you need help but they are trustful people so they still make you feel intimate in the aprtment.
