There is surely no better location in Brussels than Camilas apartment. The photographs and description accurately represent it. You can sit in the window overlooking the Grand Place and the town hall and watch the world go by. The apartment is small but comfortable for a couple, and nicely decorated. All the amenities you might need for a short stay are provided. There are limited cooking facilities should you want them, but there are endless restaurants, cafes and friteries nearby which cater for the hungry day and night. Access to the apartment is via a number of wooden staircases and ultimately quite a steep spiral one which might be an issue if you have a lot of large baggage. But that comes with the territory of an historic building, and if you wanted hotel convenience you wouldn’t be looking on Airbnb, right?
Those old wooden floors and stairs mean that you will probably hear your neighbours walking around (and they will hear you). There are two layers of glazing between you and the crowd in the Place, but soundproofing is not perfect and people are out there until late. The bedroom is behind two sets of doors and the windows, and we found it fine, but if you are a very light sleeper you might need those earplugs. Camila is upfront about this in her description.
Camila was an attentive and responsive host: there was a mixup with the cleaning crew when we checked in, but Camila resolved it very rapidly.
We loved staying at Maisonette Grand Place. It’s a unique experience. It’s a little different, and you won’t regret staying there.
